PRE-CONFERENCE COURSE: Overhaul to Fireball
Date & Time
Wednesday, October 9, 2019, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Description
This class was developed with the assistance of the City of St. Charles, MO, Fire Department to share lessons learned from a residential fire that nearly cost the lives of four veteran firefighters. These firefighters were interviewed only days after the fire and asked some tough questions about their escape and their thought processes during their escape. Portions of these tapes, plus cell phone and helmet camera video taken on scene, combined with radio communications, provide students with an intimate sense of what these firefighters experienced. It also brings home the idea of how, in a moment’s notice, things can go bad.
