Six firefighters were briefly trapped Monday after a flashover and collapse at a three-alarm apartment house fire in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Greg Havel reviews points firefighters must consider when operating at a building that may be compromised and discusses a structural collapse scenario at a live burn evolution.

Deputy U.S. Fire Administrator Glenn A. Gaines asks the fire service to reconsider the assumption that residents have about five minutes until flashover during house fires.

In April 2011, four firefighters were injured when units from the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department were dispatched to a house fire. That same night representatives from Globe Manufacturing and PBI Performance Products were in town at the CFSI (Congressional Fire Services Institute) dinner.

Gregory Havel goes over what firefighters need to know about fire department connections (FDCs) at fire incidents.

Are you aware to the NIST studies concerning ventilation, and have those results altered or changed your current tactics as it relates to ventilation? Share your observations with other firefighters from around the country and world.

During a fire or other emergency incident, firefighters must conduct an ongoing size-up of the scene for signs of structural collapse, Greg Havel writes.

A faulty hand-held radio may have nearly cost four East Cleveland firefighters their lives.

During his FDIC 2012 classroom Thursday, Brian Brush discussed recent advances in scientific understanding of fire behavior and the impact of ventilation on firefighting.

The fire environment has changed, and it is time the fire service reexamined its tactics to understand not just what to do but why, said Steve Kerber at his FDIC 2012 Monday morning workshop, "Tactical Applications of Fire Dynamics."

In his FDIC 2012 classroom, John Ceriello discussed traditional fire tactics and the modern fire environment.

A report reviewing how a prescribed burn created the Lower North Fork (CO) wildfire has been released.

In his Monday workshop, "Fire Dynamics in Structures," National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)  researcher and former George D. Post Instructor of the Year award recipient Dan Madrzyskowski covered some critical scientific topics about fire behavior in structural firefighting.

A fire that destroyed a historic tavern in Skykomish, WA, appears to be arson. KIRO-TV reports that officials believe a fire was set to cover the theft of $3,300 at Whistling Post tavern, which was established in 1903.
