Trainer urges immediate radio emergency traffic or mayday when interior conditions deteriorate

Trainer told firefighters to "see something, say something" and to use the radio when interior conditions indicate danger. The session distinguished between emergency traffic (warning that "it's about to get really bad") and mayday (immediate danger), and advised that either call should prompt command to initiate evacuation procedures.

The instructor made clear that timely radio calls are preferred to running to find an officer: "If you see it and you think it's that bad, say something." Participants were instructed to use established emergency traffic protocols so that command can react and coordinate evacuations rapidly.
