New Training: 20 Tactical Considerations from Firefighter Research

Firehouse teamed up with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Firefighter Safety Research Institute (FSRI) to provide an interactive look at 20 Tactical Considerations from Firefighter Research.

The goal of this partnership is to increase firefighters’ knowledge to reduce deaths and injuries and assist responders in better preparing to respond to emergencies in their community. 

Authors include UL Firefighter Safety Research Advisory Board members Assistant Chief Derek Alkonis (Los Angeles County), Lt. Sean Gray (Atlanta), Chief Todd A. Harms (Phoenix) and Chief Peter Van Dorpe (Algonquin-Lake in the Hill, IL, Fire Protection District).

This series, which includes photos and videos, is broken five sections: Setting the Stage, Fire Dynamics, Initial Fire Attack, Coordinated Ventilation and Thermal Imagers & Basement Fires.
