UL Fire Safety Research Institute Class
YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW... BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA A conversation about fire dynamics and tactical considerations on the fireground: Since 2005 the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (FSRI) has completed, and continues to conduct, a multitude of studies aimed at making the fire service safer and more effective. This research is vitally important for everyone from the Fire Chief to the line Firefighter to understand and has influenced our understanding of tactics such as ventilation and fire attack. What is the effectiveness from the exterior application of water, interior application of water, and how does this all impact Firefighter safety as well as the survivability of trapped victims? UL Research Engineer Keith Stakes as well as UL Technical Advisory Committee member and Oakland FD Captain (Ret.) Dennis LeGear of LeGear Engineering FD Consultants, will answer these important questions and many more. If you attend one fire service related class this year, this should be it. Do not miss this opportunity to gain a greater understanding of fire dynamics and how our tactics effect the fire ground.
