Leveraging cutting-edge data from the FFRS and FSRI/UL science, Cody dismantles the excuses that hinder aggressive interior operations. This session isn’t just about tactics; it’s about establishing a firm foundation of “why” to ensure we deliver on the public’s expectation every single time. No excuses. Just performance.

📖 Anatomy of an Engine Company -

Master the mechanics of a high-tempo fire attack. Jay breaks down the “whys” and “hows” of establishing momentum on everything from single-family dwellings to complex commercial structures. You’ll explore tactical decision games (TDG) to sharpen crew safety and safety-critical reads on building construction and fire behavior. Understanding the research and data from FSRI, FFRS and others to build a “leader’s intent” that puts your entire engine crew on the same page, ensuring rapid confinement and extinguishment. We will cover easy to understand size up processes that quickly point toward direct tactical decisions to help locate, confine, and extinguish a fire while also delving into “go/no go” reads based on our gear, staffing, and capabilities and limitations.
