Red Flags. Recognize & Survive. Keeping Us Safe on the Fireground.

Many fine programs are available to help Firefighters deal with mayday situations. This class will hopefully help Firefighters and Fire Officers stay out of those situations. Using actual LODD situations the class will deal with how to identify, interpret, and rectify RED FLAGS that confront us every day on the fire ground.

A major factor in Fireground safety is Communications. The class will look at communication issues including hardware as well as human performance.  Actual radio broadcasts will be utilized to illustrate points in the class.

Thru lessons learned in LODD’s and Near Miss incidents, Firefighters and Fire Officers will come away with tools to keep themselves and those in their command safe on the fire ground.
