For ten years within the ULFSRI We've been conducting research in firefighter operations,
firefighter tactics, and the modern fire environment.
Even though we've been at this for over ten years now, there's no way that we can replicate
every single scenario that you may encounter in the emergency field.
There is no silver bullet when it comes to firefighting, there are challenges.
We have limitations into the fuels that we can use in our training environment and for
our training fuels.
We have limitations with our non-combustible structures here.
Decisions we make in these structures here may not always translate into the real-world,
but the structure is here the research fires that we're doing there is creating a baseline.
A baseline of knowledge and the science of our profession and then it is incumbent upon
us to incorporate our experiences utilizing this research and the scientific knowledge
to make our decisions on the fireground that are going to benefit the occupant and are
going to benefit our fellow firefighters.
So as you go into your live-fire training, understand that we should be following our
live-fire training standard: NFPA 1403 and there are some limitations within 1403.
In today's fuel load in the modern fire environment, we're going to be dealing with upholstered
furniture which is a flammable solid.
In the training fires we're going to be dealing with clean wood materials, straw, dimensional
lumber or your pallets.
When we talk about types of construction, when you go into this non-combustible structure
here you won't have the threat of a floor collapse from an engineered wood product or
a truss floor or truss ceiling.
We also won't have concealed spaces that can hide the propagation of fire from floor to
floor or allow fire to get behind you so understand that as you advance that handline.
We also have ventilation differences.
In our non-combustible structures we actually have air vents built into that structure.
When you go out in that single or two-family home today you're going to have your homes
wrapped in plastic to control that air flow, to control that insulation property.
Here at FSRI we understand the importance of live-fire training.
We encourage you during your live fire training to work on some of the aspects that has value
within that training such as conducting your 360 to get in that habit of continuously looking
at all four sides or all six sides of that fire.
Understanding how to advance that handline and the muscle memory that comes with it.
Understanding of getting through underneath that thermal layer so you can see where you're
going as best as possible, right to create that real-world effect.
Then also work on getting your search and rescue teams in place and coordinating when
that search and rescue team is going to enter that structure in conjunction with suppression
efforts and also ventilation.
Remember the most important thing on today's fireground is coordination of your efforts.
Coordinating and controlling the resources you have on the ground, coordinating controlling
airflow to that fire.
In the real fire training here that's when you work on it so when you implement it into
the real-world you do it crisply, you do it effectively, and you do it safely.
