Event Description

Do you know how to stage a safe burn?
Conducting live fire training has always been a controversial subject and raises concerns for safety, but it’s a must for the complete development of firefighters. This program will present methods to conduct effective burns while following NFPA 1403, without compromising firefighter safety.

Topics covered will include:

Lessons learned from past live fire training tragedies
Critical aspects of NFPA 1403, Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions
Live fire training indiscretions
Maximizing the burn structure (acquired, fixed, and mobile facilities)
Importance of live fire training in the development of firefighters

This program is dedicated to those who have fallen before us during live fire training evolutions.
