About This Course
This 3-day course is designed to train fire officers and their crews on how to handle fires in high-rise buildings. These incidents are particularly challenging due to the large spaces, high number of people and their movement, and the vertical spread of fire. Additionally, there is a need for a significant number of firefighters and fire equipment, including hundreds of self-contained breathing apparatuses and long hose lays, which adds to the logistical and manpower demands. The course aims to simulate various scenarios and challenges and teach the tactics necessary for faster and safer intervention.
