More Fire Video & Updates

 Well we have a new title for the book.  In March at FDIC you will be able to buy your copy of The Combat Position: Achieving Firefighter Readiness.  The new title will hopefully give people a better sense of what the book is before they pick it up.  It's not surprising, but people do judge a book by it's cover.

I came across the video below today.  This is a pretty good first line attack.



My only major complaint might be the Driver speeding up with the two vehicles in the way.  I like the officer (I assume) telling the driver to pull forward to leave room for the Truck.  It takes about 2 minutes from arrival before we start to see some steam conversion.  All in all a good attack.  Not knowing the still area my only concern based on the three sided view we see on arrival is IF this is a lightweight roof assembly we may have rapid truss failure... there is fire in the attack.  We get a ladder thrown for secondary egress (the angle is a little steep but at least it's there).  All in all this is a good fire attack.

Enjoy the snow this weekend.

  1. Will the book be available to those of us who might not make it to FDIC? Sounds like a good read.
