Thoughts from the Can Position | The Face of Seniority A Colorado Springs Firefighter discovered what the face of seniority looked like while he visited friends out east. | |
The Detroit Bundle When you endure tremondous fire duty, you need a hosebed that's up to the challenge. Find out the hosebed configuration Detroit engine companies use that places efficiency, simplicity and the hose itself right where you need it, all in one bundle. | The Verticle Deadbolt Lock Andrew discusses a secondary lock hat has more up its sleeve or cylinder than meets the eye. Find out how to overcome this formidable lock so the engine can call for water sooner. | |
Circus Elephans The fireground should never become a circus; particularly when it involves the search. Dustry tells us about a method of search that doesn't make you look like a circus clown, but rather an elephant; and how to actually become the main attraction. | FDNY Squad Company Operations FDNY's Squad 61 comes together to discuss what it is that makes the squad company the incident commander's most versatile tool when gaps are formed on the fireground. Come along with this special unit as they detail how they fill these gaps. | |
Full-On Assault More may be better when it comes to ventilation. Find out why fire blowing out the attick windows may not be the sigh of relief we think upon arrival. And that a change in momentum may be all that's needed. | The Ins and Outs of Size-Up It's what the incident commander doesn't see that's just as important as what's in front of him. Mike discusses some of the things he looks for from those inside so he can compare it what he sees on the outside. That's teh ins-and-outs of a continual size-up and a safe fireground operation. | |
