Residential Primary Search: Aggressive Search Culture
Approximately 95% of civilian fire deaths occur in the residential setting. This should be our bread and butter. Yet, many departments are plagued with a passive search culture. Our goal should be to complete a primary search within the first 10 minutes of all structures. If a department is going to be successful in changing the culture of search, it will take buy-in from the top to the bottom, training to better understand the effort, a system, and time. This class will help you better understand the topics of search-the big picture, best practice search skills, executing the search, victim removal, and how the department and chiefs can set the members up for success.
