Firefighting – Transitional attack – How, when and why?
In this presentation I explain how a transitional attack should be performed, when to use it and why.
Firefighter autonomy: Critical for incident command
With predetermined goals and frameworks for firefighter actions, we can achieve effective incident command at arrival to fires.
GPM vs BTU = FALSE
A fires total heat release rate is not a good value for how much water flow that is needed for suppression, and simplified statements are misleading.
What is a fuel-limited or fuel controlled fire?
What does it mean when the fuel limits the fire development? It is simple, but also much more complicated then most firefighters think.
Negative pressure in fire compartment at suppression
When water turns to steam it expands. When smoke cools down it contracts. The resulting pressure will affect the potential for rescues at fires.
Dry air is heavier than wet air – Stay low
Steam from fires and fire suppression contain lots of energy and blocks our vision. Stay low to avoid the rising steam inside the compartment.
