| 11 | |**Pre-Condition**|Wearables are active and connected before firefighters enter the danger zone. | ||
| 12 | |**Post-Condition**|Health alerts handled; intervention performed if needed. | ||

| 18 | === **Action Sequence** === | ||
| 19 | |||
| 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. | ||
