SAFRE 2019

Today’s buildings and occupancies continue to present unique challenges to command and operating companies during combat structural fire engagement. Building and occupancy profiling, identifying occupancy risk versus occupancy type, construction methods, features, systems, and components require new skill sets in reading the building and implementing predictive occupancy profiling for firefighters, company, and command officers for effective and efficient fireground operations.

Focusing on a wide variety of residential, commercial, and multiple occupancy dwellings, the program will present leading insights on improved building size-up, risk assessment, and determining and implementing appropriate tactical operations for today’s evolving fireground challenges, operations, and incident management. Incorporating the Buildingsonfire FACTS concept for First-Arriving Construction, Tactics, and Safety, this program provides a methodology and process to increase operational effectiveness and ensure critical building factors are identified, assessed and monitored throughout the incident.
