NYFIRETraining currently offers a wide variety of lecture topics. Our three-hour programs address the real and current issues facing the fire service and can be customized to focus on challenges within your primary response district, including changes in building construction, firefighting equipment, and other variables that make our job one of the most dangerous in the world! Sealed Buildings and the Fire Service This program is a review of operating procedures at buildings that are sealed-closed. These might include residential, commercial, or vacant structures. With their limited access, they also limit our egress, so a review of the recommended Standard Operating Procedures might be in order. Operations at Commercial Building and Taxpayer Fires This program is dedicated to the lessons learned at previous fires in commercial occupancies. If your department fights (or could potentially fight) fires in commercial buildings then a review of past mistakes may prevent a future tragedy. Lightweight and New Building Construction and its Effects on the Fire Service Every fire department in America is seeing and influx of lightweight construction within their response districts. Are you ready to fight a fire in one of these buildings? Do you know the risk and the dangers? If not, this class could help your department prepare for the structural fire of the future. Portable Ladders for the Fire Service Portable ladders might be one of the most under-used tools in the fire service today. When was the last time your department had a drill on portable ladders? This is a lecture on the need for and varying uses of portable ladders on the fire ground. Rapid Intervention Does your fire department have a Rapid Intervention program in place? Are the members trained and ready to respond to assist a firefighter “MAYDAY” emergency? If not, this class will assist you in preparing to implement Rapid Intervention training and Standard Operating Procedures before a “MAYDAY” emergency occurs on the fireground. Size-Up for Today’s Fire Service Today’s fires are getting hotter and the buildings are getting weaker. Proper size-up is more necessary then ever in order to read and understand what the fire building is telling us. This is a class in just that: reading the building and properly interpreting the information gained to provide a better understanding of what we might face when we make entry. Truck Co. Operations: A “Back to Basics” Review This is a class on the truck company’s basic duties and operations on the fireground. Whether your department has a dedicated truck company, or the job of the truck company is assigned to whoever is available at each fire, this program will assist firefighters in understanding the functions and responsibilities of the truck company. First Due Operations at Private Dwelling Fires This class is a review of the responsibilities of both the engine and truck company at fires in private dwellings. These are our most common fire and we are still losing firefighters at them. This program will focus on common mistakes made during fires in private dwellings and how to avoid them. Search Techniques & Team Safety Inside the Fire Building This program focuses on the
importance of teamwork and search skills and using them together in a
fire search. It will review and reinforce the need for a search plan and
procedures when operating in within a fire building. Ventilation: The Problems & Effects on Today’s Fire Buildings This class is a review of ventilation practices and how ventilation can affect the fire building of the 21st century. Interior conditions are hotter today than in the past because plastic furnishings burn hotter and buildings are constructed tighter, holding in the products of combustion. This does not always make for a safe or easy entry into the fire building. Ventilation must be coordinated and controlled. Does your department have procedures to control ventilation practices? This program will review proper ventilation strategies and how they are applied to make the fire building behave the way we want it to. Operations at Vacant Building Fires If your department’s response area has vacant buildings this class will help foster an understanding of the risks we are willing to take verses the rewards that can be attained at vacant building fires. These building kill firefighters and we need as much knowledge as possible before fighting fires within them. Fire Service Leadership: How to Avoid Firefighter Injury & Death This program is designed for students to learn from others past mistakes and to avoid repeating them. This is for every firefighter and officer regardless of rank. Roof Operations for the Fire Service Roof operations are one of the most dangerous undertakings at any fire. Are you ready to hear “You got the roof,” at your next job? This program will discuss how to vent the roof as safely as possible. SOPs and Today’s Fire Service Does your department have a set of defined Standard Operating Procedures? Are they up-to-date and appropriate for the types of fires we face today? Engine & Truck Co. Operations: “Working Together” This program discusses the safest possible Engine Company and Truck Company “combined operations” at a fire. This class will also review the duties and positions of firefighters assigned to either the engine or truck company.
