Summary
Firefighters practice their skills so that in the event of an emergency, members can operate safely and efficiently in a hostile environment. Rehearsing in a "controlled" hostile environment involves live-fire training in an acceptable structure, whether it be an acquired structure or a standalone approved training facility. However, the potential for a significant injury or line of duty fatality exists and unfortunately, history has proven that to be the case. Keeping these training evolutions safe requires planning, training, policies and safety parameters that must be in place in the event of an emergency. We will look at how NFPA 1403 provides a framework on how to successfully navigate a live fire training session, and discuss the best methods to create an effective learning environment while keeping the participants protected.
