This course was developed in the continuing effort to reduce the number of fire fighter injuries and fatalities that occur on an annual basis and provides a greater understanding how to avoid committing fatal errors on the fireground. Avoiding situations that could cause you to become lost, trapped, or injured is the best way to prevent tragedies at a fire scene. Topics include fire fighter survival terminology , developing a survival attitude, increasing situational awareness, and being trained in problem‐solving techniques so you can become more
self reliant in an emergency. Case studies will be reviewed to outline factors common in many line‐of‐duty deaths across the nation.
