FIRE 106: Interior Fire Attack

The ability to confine and extinguish modern fire is the benchmark of a good engine company. This class will use the classroom and hands-on instruction to reinforce interior attack fundamentals and advanced topics involving scene size up, positioning the attack line, advancing the attack line, coordinated ventilation, reading smoke, and interior safety principles. The classroom portion will utilize video scenarios for classroom discussion of current tactics. Classroom portions of this class will also cover the explanation of tactics derived from the recent UL and NIST studies. The BullEx digital fire attack simulator will be used during the hands-on portion of the class.
