The essential components of a pre-incident survey include:

1. Life hazard - evacuation plan
2. Access points; entrance, egress, driveway, force entry
3. Ventilation points - skylights, roof access, need to cut
4. Built in fire protection - location, sprinkler, FDC
5. Water supply - location limitations
6. Structural weakness - include horizontal/vertical opening, lack of fire stops, components leading to possible early collapse
7. Structural strong points - fire walls, parapets
8. Estimate of fire flow and determination of actual available flow
9. Applicable maps
10. Provision for prompt supply of needs - cooperation among agencies, mutual aid/assistance
