Live Fire: Aggressive TIC Search Operations
This class will combine time- and battle-tested search techniques with updated modern thermal imaging technology, designed to take your fireground searches to the next level. When properly applied, thermal imaging can enhance fundamentally sound search crews, making them more efficient and more successful. Communication and positioning of the TIC operator for facilitating search efforts is an essential component of this process. Fundamental search methodology relies on sound basics, from moving through the room quickly and efficiently to understanding fire and smoke behavior in a compartment. When combined with modern thermal imaging, firefighters take the upper hand and save lives. This class is about understanding all the tools at your disposal, when to use them, and how to use them properly.
