To provide firefighters and fire officers with the operational knowledge and skills required to develop and implement an effective incident-action plan (IAP) on arrival, the presenter will discuss the many variables to be considered when executing successful fire suppression operations in private dwellings. Topics to be covered include construction and dwelling styles, size-up, typical hazards, safety, accountability, forcible entry, search techniques, ventilation, and fire attack methods. The program will also include interactive group sessions utilizing first-due video and photos where the attendees will have the opportunity to assume command, formulate IAP, and implement their chosen strategy and tactics.
