Back to Conference

High Rise firefighting presents unique challenges as more communities are building up and not out. Changes to the building and fire code have created residential structures constructed with wood. These buildings have fire protection systems and stand pipes not common to firefighters. Interior fire attack utilizing 65 mm hose is not new but few structural firefighters have experience with this evolution.

PPE Requirements: All standard bunker gear

PPE Required for hose advancement (2.5”) and connecting to an FDC/FHC would be:
Bunker Suit
Helmet
Boots
Gloves
