Full Description
DESCRIPTION:
Attack from the BURNED Side-  There are many different tactics for attacking structure fires. For years the fire service has been preaching to Attack from the Unburned Side. This isn't always the best tactic. The New Age fire ground is evolving more than ever before and with the use of science to enhance our procedures this class will show different tasks and tactics that can be used to extinguish fires that originate on the Exterior and extend into the Attic. Using case studies paired with practical experience this class will examine this particular fallacy along with others that have led to firefighters being injured and killed across the country from these types of fires. This class is against the grain of traditional firefighting, and has an innovative approach at fighting the fires that we face today.
