The Art of Reading Buildings (Room 240-242)

09 Apr 19
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Firefighting

Are you tired of the usual, boring building construction classes? You know it’s an important topic, but you find it difficult to choke down the classes. Well, this class takes a whole new approach and provides essential tools and practice in making rapid street reads on buildings. The instructor collaborated with John Mittendorf, battalion chief (ret.) of the Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department, to develop this practical classroom session that will prove invaluable for all firefighters, company officers, and battalion chiefs. Participants get to practice “street reads” using 360 video streams of actual buildings (no simulations) and raw fireground footage.
