Approximately 95% of civilian fire deaths occur in the residential setting.  This should be our bread and butter.  Yet many departments are plagued with a passive search culture.  Our goal should be to complete a primary search within the first 10 minutes of all structures.  If a department is going to be successful in changing the culture of search, it will take buy-in from the top to the bottom, it’ll take training to better understand the effort, it’ll take a system, and it will take time.  This class will help you better understand best practice search skills, executing the search, and victim removal.
