Table 2 Proposed rates of cooling for firefighting operations to allow for the rapid safe re-entry of firefighters to emergency incidents
Classification | Tc cooling rate |
|---|---|
Ideal (<10 min) | >0.10 °C min−1 |
Acceptable (10–15 min) | 0.07–0.10 °C min−1 |
Unacceptable (>15 min) | <0.07 °C min−1 |
