While we often discuss the importance of a strong strategic plan, fireground success often comes down to how strong our tactics are.  This class examines how understanding the residential fireground will provide us a tactical advantage when we arrive. When we gain a tactical advantage, we can also create a safer fireground as well as recreate our success on future fires. Topics include construction issues, forcible entry/security issues, hoarding, exposures, vacant vs. abandoned, offensive attack options, tank water, searching from the line, reading buildings, single- and multi-family dwellings, retirement apartments, and overcoming staffing problems.
