What’s Your Bowstring Hazard? Here Are Some Of Ours.

From one of our many Fire and EMS bloggers, First Due Tackle, comes a good reminder about knowing the building construction in your response area...

Dave Walsh is on fire forwarding some good training materials this week. If you get a chance check out the SUNY Dutchess Fire Science Program on Facebook. For this post we simply linked the new bowstring truss interim operating procedure out of the FDNY. Within the linked pdf below you will find some reasoning for the changes in procedure and some strategic and tactical considerations. Also below are a few pictures of bowstring truss system in our area. Share your pictures and more importantly talk about the hazards in your jurisdiction at the kitchen table and then go visit them before a fire. Be safe.
