Ladder Company Operations:

**NEW** 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.

Note: This is a “scenario-based” rotation. If you desire an in-depth, techniques and tips lesson on conventional forcible entry, please take our Basic Forcible

Entry Operations course. Previous attendance at one of our Basic Forcible Entry Operations course is suggested due to the difficulty of the door.

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.” Estimating the stretch will also

be stressed.

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 is stressed heavily.

Our instructors are comprised of a wide-variety of department sizes and types from across the U.S. and Canada.
