Do you want to learn more about the challenging fire environments firefighters face today, and how to apply various tactics to help control the fire and mitigate inherent risk by applying current fire science with best practice fire ground tactics and decision-making strategies?

During this full-day session we will explore fire behaviour using various prop demonstrations, practice fire control using door control and nozzle techniques, finally putting everything together in a live burn in our 40’ Enclosure Fire Dynamics Simulator.

IMPORTANT: You must have achieved NFPA 1001 Firefighter 1 & 2 accreditation to participate in this live fire training.


Participants will require full PPE (bunker gear, structural boots, structural helmet, structural gloves, SCBA with two air cylinders and SCBA mask).
