We have all heard lots about UL/NIST studies. This course will specifically look at deployment of tactics in small to medium career, combination and volunteer fire departments. This class walks you through the implementation steps of updating tactics and response policies. From discussion, to training, to response, you will be left with the tools necessary to implement tactical change in your organization. Be prepared for some good discussion and myth busting along the way!
The objectives of this class are:
- Gain a basic understanding of the fire triangle and fire tetrahedron
- Understand the research conducted by UL/NIST & ATF
- Understand how flow path exists at every fire
- Understand flow path management
- Use the candle experiment to understand fire behavior
- Conduct a doll house fire to bring all the concepts together
- Take the science to the street through tactical implementation
