La patrouille consiste à surveiller un secteur de la ligne d’arrêt ou une partie d’un incendie afin d’empêcher le feu de s’échapper.(...)(Elle) est une opération essentielle qui ne doit jamais être négligée; mal réalisée, le feu risque(...) d’anéantir tous les efforts déployés pour le maîtriser. La patrouille devrait être maintenue au moins quelques jours après l'extinction du dernier foyer car le feu peut paraître complètement éteint tout en continuant à couver dans les endroits cachés. 1, record 2, French, - patrouille
