Evidence-Based Engine Operations
Incident priority starts with life--their life. Thus, getting water where it needs to go in a timely manner can allow you to be more aggressive in your search procedures. We can increase survivable space on the inside for everyone by getting water where it needs to go quickly. The research is there to show the fire doesn't know where water is coming from, and the victims/homeowners don't care either. The people we serve want us to save life and property to the best of our abilities. Using today's research and combining it with our experiences, we can improve our actions on the fireground tremendously. This interactive class will discuss the facts and fiction when it comes to hose streams and their use from interior and exterior positions. Let's find a way to get inside as quickly as possible to search and isolate rooms to preserve what we can for the homeowners. Let's put our knowledge and experience together and take back the fireground!
