Mayday Monday: Surviving and Fighting Basement Fires
Mayday Monday is a firefighter survival campaign. The goal is to provide tips and techniques to survive the fireground. This includes methods for personal survival and firefighter rescue, fitness and other healthy tips, and firefighting strategies and tactics that will help members to come home. This class will focus on fighting and surviving the basement fire. In spite of new research and bad experiences in these fires, we continue to see firefighters get injured and die while engaged in a basement firefight. This class will look at risk management principles and tactics we can use to reduce the risk, with lessons learned and a skill/drill from several case studies.
