Event Description

*** NO LIVE FIRE ***

Ladder Company Operations:

Conventional Forcible Entry & Safe Interior Search Operations: ALL members will force a moderate to heavily secured door with the irons, and immediately conduct an interior search under zero-visibility conditions.
...
Vent, Enter & Search (VES) Operations: ALL members will safely conduct a VES operation under zero-visibility conditions while using SCBA. Don’t wait until 3am with a mother screaming and pointing, “My daughter is in that room!” to “try” this operation for your first time!

Flat-Roof Operations: ALL members will operate a power saw to conduct at least a 3’x5’ ventilation opening on a flat-roof prop.

Engine Company Operations:

Stretching the Initial Attack Line: ALL members will participate & discuss various options for preconnected and static hose beds. Members will perform long stretches from a static hose bed, in an effort to “think outside of the preconnect.” Tips and techniques on correctly estimating the stretch will also be addressed.

Advancing the Initial Attack Line: ALL members will advance a 1 ¾” attack line (while flowing water) through a multiple room fire scenario. Tips and techniques for operating and managing the attack line will be stressed as the line is pushed in.

Aggressive 2 ½” Attack Line Operations: ALL members will advance a 2 ½” attack line (while flowing water) through a multiple room fire scenario. Many firefighters approach this evolution saying, “Not possible!” We show you the tips & techniques that make it possible.
You and ONE other member will advance the line through this scenario. Teamwork between the “Nozzle” and “Back-up” (2nd FF) is stressed heavily.
