BASEMENT AND CELLAR FIRES

This twelve hour seminar is designed to review and discuss the definitions of basements, cellars and sub cellars. Many buildings are destroyed every year by fires originating in below ground level cellars and sub cellars. The difficulties and hazardous conditions presented to fire fighters will be identified and discussed at length. In addition, the course will cover direct and indirect fire fighting tactics with heavy emphasis on the safety of the fire fighter. Instruction on tactical operations of cellar and basement fires, including live burn practical operations, workshops, and a presentation of recent major fires with below grade origins will be covered.
