What is NOT a purpose of salvage?

The primary purposes of salvage in firefighting are to minimize property damage, protect personal belongings, and ensure firefighter safety. Minimizing property damage involves taking steps to limit the fire's impact on the structure and its contents. Protecting personal belongings means securing and preserving items of value during and after the firefighting effort. Ensuring firefighter safety refers to creating conditions that allow fire personnel to operate effectively without unnecessary risks.

Reducing the chance for a rekindle, while an important consideration during firefighting operations, is not typically categorized as a primary purpose of salvage operations. Salvage efforts focus more on protecting and preserving property during and after a fire incident rather than specifically preventing rekindling, which is usually addressed through proper overhaul procedures and fire suppression tactics.
