The Pillars of the Fireground
Captain Sean Gray, Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services (GA)
Often times our fireground can become a complex myriad of tactics and tasks, when in actuality two pillars- Search and Fire Attack are all that it takes for a successful outcome. These Pillars are then supported by Ventilation in a coordinated manner, lifting the smoke for visibility. This class will cover in detail both Search and Fire Attack using a Smart/Aggressive mindset that is backed by experience & research. This interactive video-based discussion will help students decide what’s faster- taking the problem away from the victim or taking the victim away from the problem.
