Fireground Search: Critical Do's and Don'ts For Effective Search Operations


Event Registration (EVENT: 29297):

Fireground Search: Critical Do's and Don'ts For Effective Search Operations
Event Date: November 09, 2006 02:00 PM EST

Presenter: John Salka
This program is designed to illustrate the critical elements of fireground search operations that firefighters need to master. Simply donning an SCBA and entering a structure is not a search! Specific skills and tactics need to be learned and practiced to result in effective search operations. Once inside a burning building, what does the first search team look for? Do we need to find the fire first or should we be looking for occupants? How many firefighters should be assigned to a search team? What tools are most helpful and effective? All of these issues need to be addressed along with other items such as communication, command and survival. Join FDNY battalion chief John Salka as he outlines the search procedures and skills that you need to know to conduct safe, rapid and effective search operations at your next structural fire.
