Thank you very informative.
One question though: as I know from the German fire brigades as well as from marine firefighting, the doctrine is that teams must never split up, i.e. always keep physical contact between the two team members during an interior attack.
How do you make sure that team members do not get lost in case of poor visibility?

[@MaloneMatty]

It would be determined by the situation that you're in, as well as the fireground operating procedures or standard operating procedures within your department.
I will say that the good thing about a hose is that if you're always attached to the hose, you know where the rest of your team should be.

They are both connected via the hoseline.
