This week we have a standard house fire with tree victims. Two of which are trapped, one is outside injured. Your first responding engine has 4 persons on it, your next piece of apparatus is 5 minutes away.
1.) What is the your radio report and your C A N report?
2.) How do you divide your crew?
3.) Which of the trapped victims will you work on first?
4.) What immediate action can you take with limited manpower that would make this situation better?
5.) How would you direct the help when they arrive? What orders would you give?
This week the panel will discuss how you stay current on your training, and how do you re-certify for those mandatory certifications that you need? We will talk about all facets of staying current. Leave comments here on the event page or leave a YOUTUBE Comment to join in.
