Flashover training offers firefighters the opportunity to observe fire behavior and the signs that lead to a flashover. Training will be conducted in a Phase 1 training container from Swede Survival Systems, providing students with instruction in fire development, flashover, and backdraft in a controlled environment. Emphasis is on safe fireground operations. Ventilation, fire attack, recognizing flashovers, and escape methods are also covered. Students will be made aware of unsafe operations on the fireground that have led to firefighter injuries and fatalities.
