Mid-Rise Mayhem: Engine Company Operations in Mid-Rise Buildings (24THURAM)

MID-RISE MAYHEM..ENGINE COMPANY OPERATIONS IN MID-RISE BUILDINGS

These buildings are taking the United States by storm. While most all urban and suburban

areas have them, how many of us genuinely have experienced fighting a fire in a mid-rise

building? These three to six-story buildings present unique challenges. This program covers

multiple aspects of firefighting within the mid-rise building. Traditional and alternative attack

methods will mainly focus on short-staffed stretching. Topics included in the program will

consist of; well-hole stretches, offensive deck gun operations, 2.5" monitor deployment,

extending attack lines, standpipe stretches, and making your own standpipe. The students will

finish the day in timed scenario-based evolutions. The instructor cadre brings more than 125

years of real-world experience, from volunteer to urban settings; this class has something for

you.
