2019 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Rural Engine Company Operations (Room 1C)

22 Feb 19
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This class is designed to give volunteer and rural engine company firefighters vital elements to increase their level of performance to achieve efficiency and safety on the fireground. The principles covered are based on engine companies that respond in rural areas where the challenges of nozzle and hose packages, water supply, apparatus set-up, and staffing affect fireground success. Once the engine has arrived on the scene of a building fire do you have the firefighters and the equipment on the engine to effectively perform all the functions of the engine company?  This presentation will show safe effective ways to train and equip the rural engine company to get the job done.
