Fire Dynamics; Bringing the Science to the Streets - 0003

You are not signed in. Enrollments for this event require you to sign in with a valid Academy account that has permission to request enrollment.

Full Description: This class is intended for all members of the fire service including suppression, investigation, code enforcement, public education and CRR staff.

Students will review traditional fire dynamics as we have understood them, how fire dynamics have changed in the last twenty to thirty years and the implication of those changes. Topics covered include fire dynamics, flow path, smoke as a fuel, the significance of door and ventilation control, the impact of temperature and pressure on fire development, water mapping and air entrainment.

Students will then consider the impact this information has on the fireground operations, fire code application, fire investigations and Community Risk Reduction.

Prerequisites: I acknowledge and understand that all prerequisites must be satisfied at time of registration and I will not request any waivers unless previously approved in writing by the course coordinator.
