Anatomy of a Disaster: The Risk of Modern Building and Maintenance (New)
New construction pitfalls, remodel cost savings, poor upkeep and maintenance practices - what do they have in common? All can spell disaster when a fire breaks out both for the occupants and the responders. This class will look at several cases where decisions made, from modern home construction to the upkeep in large multi-residential unit buildings, led to disaster. By looking at these events, we might better prepare for our own responses.

Does Flow Matter?
Effective supply hoseline operations are essential to firefighter operations. While some operations will be performed through drafting, water shuttles or relay pumping, the most common and basic water supply operation is through a fire hydrant and fire pumps. When evaluating the effectiveness of a supply line setup, firefighters must evaluate each factor that affects the operation—water quantity, friction loss and distance. Water quantity refers to the amount of water that a supply line contains when charged. Friction loss refers to the amount of pressure that is lost due to friction within the hoseline. Distance refers to the distance that the water must be transported from the water supply source to the fire scene.

Transitional Fire Attack (Hands-On)
Transitional fire attack is a relatively new tactic by name, but some of the practices have been around for many years. So why the transitional attack? We are witnessing and experiencing fires that produce a much higher release of energy and reach extreme temperatures much quicker than before. The transitional fire attack is one of those ways to help overcome the quick and high buildup of the heat release rate. We will need to look at fires as GPM versus BTUs. In this class, students will understand the dangers of confronting extreme temperatures, how to fight fire with limited personnel, and participate in transitional fire attack with live fire.
