VES is an approach to searching an area on the fireground where there’s a pretty good chance that there’s a victim in that area. Remember the basics when it comes to searching: After shutting the door, try to find the bed and search it (over and under). Remember that some children will try to hide, so after searching the bed, make your way to the closet, checking the floor area along the way. Here, a search was positive, and firefighters rescued a child. Photo David J. Jones
