What determines whether a building or room is considered "searchable"?

The term "searchable" in the context of buildings or rooms relates to the safety conditions present before conducting a search. If safety conditions are compromised—due to things like fire hazards, unstable structures, or environmental dangers—the risk to the searching personnel increases significantly. Therefore, ensuring that the area is safe for the search operation is imperative; only then can personnel conduct a thorough and effective search without undue risk to their safety.

The presence of smoke, temperature levels, and structural integrity are all factors that might relate to safety conditions but do not independently determine if a space is searchable. They contribute to the overall assessment of safety, but it is the broader safety conditions that encompass various risks and elements that dictate whether it is safe enough to initiate a search.
