Regional Hands-On Training – Fire Behavior On the Inside

Eight-Hour Program Overview
This intense live fire training program allows students to witness changes in fire behavior while common fireground actions are performed. Window ventilation, door control, VES, and more will take place while firefighters monitor conditions from inside the fire building, providing the rare opportunity to witness changes in fire behavior on the inside. Fire dynamics will be discussed throughout the daylong program, providing students with multiple opportunities to gain a more thorough understanding of how their actions may affect fire behavior. This eight-hour training includes a brief classroom orientation, followed by live fire hands-on training evolutions.
