This program will focus on real-life ventilation practices for private dwellings, a subject all firefighters must be educated on for residential firefighting. It will address

  • How proper ventilation affects the modern fire environment.
  • Command (the coordination of tactics and why the sky is not burning)
  • Best practices for roof operations.
  • The search (vent-enter-search (VES) and why we continue to fail on the conventional search)
  • Fire attack ventilation (Why personnel and chiefs who order venting behind the line are dead wrong)
