For this assignment, you are going to perform a Case Study of a scenario. After reading the following scenario, you will complete a report detailing your security plan that will include the following components:

1. Salvage and overhaul plan that protects the area and point of origin but causes remaining fire to be
extinguished.
2. Securing the area from unauthorized personnel and unintentional disturbance of evidence by authorized
personnel.
3. Protection of evidence.
4. Securing the scene until the investigator arrives.

SCENARIO

You are the company officer on a four-person engine company that has responded to a residence fire. After the
fire, Firefighter Smith calls you to the room where the fire has apparently originated. He explains that while
shoveling debris for salvage and overhaul in the room, he noticed a liquor bottle containing some liquid and a
partially burned cloth in it. Further investigation uncovers pieces of another liquor bottle that has been broken. It
appears that the point of origin is the location of the broken bottle. Another member of your company, Firefighter
Gonzalez, discovers outside the building near the room of origin another liquor bottle with liquid and a cloth in it.
There are footprints in a flowerbed that lead from Firefighter Gonzalez’s discovery to a fence in the rear of the
property. As you study the scene, additional companies, police officers, and the owner arrive at the scene.

Additional Information: The fire investigator for the department is out of town, and all chief officers are involved
with a major incident on the other side of the city. You are in charge. The building is still considered “hot,” and
there are still some smoke emissions in the room of origin and in the attic area. You have just received a radio
transmission requesting your manpower at the incident across town as soon as possible.

Your Case Study should be double spaced, with Times New Roman, 12 pt font, and use appropriate APA style writing.
