Strategy and Tactics
During this presentation, the operations and tactics of engine companies at multiple dwellings will be discussed. Various topics will be covered such as; pre planning of hoseline stretches during walkthroughs, drills, and calls in multiple dwellings and how to adjust thinking-on-the-go while at a fire scene. Also, the importance of not only the physical stretch, but the mental and teamwork side of engine company operations. Engines working together are vital to the success of the operation. Second and third due engine companies need to have clear expectations of what their roles are at a fire scene and how they are aiding the first due engine with the first line, and only then stretch the second line.
