20 1. **Equipment Check and Deployment**
21  a. Firefighters receive wearable sensors at briefing.
22  b. Devices are synced to central system and tested.
23  c. Safety officer confirms connectivity before entry.
24 1. **Live Monitoring in Action**
25  a. Vitals (e.g. heart rate, CO exposure) are tracked during fire suppression.
26  b. Firefighters receive vibration or LED warnings if thresholds exceeded.
27  c. Alerts escalate automatically for predefined danger levels.
28 1. **Remote Oversight and Alerts**
29  a. Safety officer monitors dashboard for all team vitals.
30  b. Critical alerts are sent to squad leader.
31  c. Medic prepares for immediate support if triggered.
32 1. **Intervention and Team Adjustment**
33  a. Firefighter is pulled out if condition worsens.
34  b. Medic assesses and logs health data.
35  c. Squad leader adjusts team composition or rest timing.
36 1. **Post-Incident Reporting**
37  a. System logs are exported for incident review.
38  b. Health data supports tactical evaluation and accountability.
