Journeyman Firefighter Series: Interior Fire Attack
Journeyman Firefighter Series: Interior Fire Attack
General Course Outline
A problem we face after basic Recruit Training is that there isn't a roadmap for how to continue building our skills. Just going to fires isn't enough- we need deliberate practice with the skills that make a difference during interior fire attack operations.
No matter what Department you work for, we're all expected to be able to perform similar tasks "from the door to the seat of the fire". This class will focus on just those few feet- the distance between where we've decided to make entry and the fire rooms. Each scenario will be practiced in a small group setting to make sure you get as many reps as you need to refine your skills.
