Strategy and Tactics
Creating a proactive high-rise policy is critical for our fire departments. High-rise buildings offer multiple challenges and can tax our resources very quickly. This class will share with the students how an effective policy and operational plan can be created to aid your organization in the rapid mitigation of these events. This course will cover detailed descriptions of the responsibilities of each responding apparatus how they fit into the high rise puzzle. It will cover specifics on areas such as elevator operations, standpipes, equipment selection, and some command and control considerations. The goal of this program is to provide a template for the student to take back to their organization and implement, or, use the information provided to better improve or modify their existing policies and procedures.
