Training objectives:
At the end of the course the student will be assessed and given the opportunity to demonstrate their competence by:
Understanding the role, responsibilities and functions of a firefighter faced with either a flashover or backdraft scenario and thereby explaining the fundamentals of fire behaviour and fire development. The approach to the training will enable the student to prepare fire fighting equipment and demonstrate their ability to use the equipment safely and correctly.
They will be able to compare their performance of different tactics and techniques in relation to fire spread and damage limitation and identify the importance of communication and teamwork.
