Training on Positive Pressure Attack

This class will show attendees the five steps we used to take positive pressure attack from discussion at the staff level to implementation at the operations level. Also discussed will be the difficulty of overcoming the typical fire department culture that is resistance to change. Attendees will see how we made our most skeptic and vocal members become believers of PPA.

Training Officer Boot Camp

Learn how to conduct an on-the-scene training needs assessment, how to take those results and put them in action, and how to create training opportunities every day.

Lightweight Roof Ventilation -- A Viable Option?

Ventilation operations can eliminate or minimize the hazards from the modern thermal layer and flashover for firefighters, but these operations are often conducted within or on top of buildings -- this should raise a concern about ventilating modern building construction, which offers less time before collapse when it is exposed to heat and/or fire. This presentation will consider the viability of ventilating these roofs in light of firefighter safety concerns.
