Join us for a lecture and conversation with Lt. Scott Corrigan from Pierce County, WA. "Beyond the Door" is an analysis of the ways different departments conduct "risk assessments" at house fires. We will discuss methods to standardize the way we evaluate tenability and make "GO or NO GO" decisions. We may use fireground footage from recent fires in the Metro area.
Lt. Corrigan would prefer to limit the event to 25 firefighters to keep the event small and allow conversation during the class. If more would like to attend we will consider allowing more to register.

I gauge the speed of the event against the men and women who have arrived on scene. Is it faster than we are and we are behind? Can we begin to control the event? I ask myself "can we be in there?"
If we can- we go.
We will be Offensive as this indicates a series of expected actions to all incoming units. We will deploy in a fashion that we have prepared mentally and physically for. We will execute the basic things that will support a good outcome. We will "run the play".
