This interactive and fast-paced presentation explores the reasons why fire service personnel should become more knowledgeable in fire engine positioning operations. The old adage of “just pull past the building to leave room for the truck” is obsolete and near-sighted as to the most effective and efficient position of the engine on the fire ground. The instructor will present and discuss the top 10 engine positioning commandments; and provide examples of modern aggressive engine positioning from rural to urban fire and rescue situations. Also presented will be proper operating practices for supply engine operations, deck gun fire attack, drafting, ground ladder use and rescue pumper winching operations.
