|
fundamental and emerging strategic and tactical operational, risk reduction, and survival skills affecting structural combat fire engagement for various occupancies in the built environment. These courses elevate the foundation of knowledge on strategic and tactical fire suppression and integrate inherent building construction hazards awareness with “street smart” understandings built upon years of street level fire responses and experiences within the designated occupancy types. The series integrates traditional fire suppression operations with cutting edge perspectives and insights into the emerging philosophies of tactics, command safety, risk reduction, and visionary structural fire suppression.

Taking It to the Streets™ reinforces the need for a return to basic training in day-to-day deployment demands of the response company with a focus on the lessons learned from case studies, LODD’s and investigative reports for tactical survival. These essential courses designed for firefighters and company officers bridge the gap between basic tactical deployment, building construction awareness, and the need to expand street level company proficiencies.
Balancing an awareness of inherent occupancy hazards, these courses explore contemporary factors for firefighter survivability during task assignments. The courses integrate command safety with effective risk assessment to ensure
|
|
that during structural combat fire engagement, personnel and company safety is paramount and that the lessons learned from historical fire events are not repeated.
Taking It To the Streets™ examines the elements of building construction as they relate to fire involvement and fire dynamics. The courses use case studies to demonstrate intrinsic building performance and structural stability factors, and universal strategic and tactical protocols that form the constants in structural combat fire engagement. Participants will learn how it all fits together in the interaction of fire suppression efforts and support operations by firefighters, company and command officers orchestrated under the prevailing theories of risk reduction, strategic command, measured tactical deployments and task assignments.

|
These vital training courses prepare participants for the increasing challenges and demands of future structural combat fire assignments. The program will assist those who have minimum experience under actual combat fire suppression incidents. They will have the opportunity to expand their skill development in enhanced recognition-primed decision-making, structural anatomy knowledge of buildings and tactical deployment options.

The Taking It to the Streets™ Series is far more than just a tactical series. These programs return the focus to street level skills developed over years of actual fire responses and operations. They will provide refreshing insights for the current and upcoming generation of firefighters, company officers and incident commanders. Above all, the courses will provide awareness and insights required for firefighter survivability that will help reduce and ultimately eliminate contributing factors for line-of-duty deaths and fireground injuries.

The Taking It to the Streets™ Series courses can be adapted to address pertinent local and regional issues for participants. These can range from anything affecting agency specific tactical operations, protocols and standard operating procedures, deployment and response factors, command and safety considerations, specific occupancies, building types or target hazards within your jurisdiction or response area. Program length can vary and can be developed based upon client needs and specifications. These programs can be offered as short version presentations and presented in conjunction with REACT™ tabletop command simulator boards to bridge classroom concepts with hands-on simulation training opportunities for skill development.
