FIRE BEHAVIOR/ FIRE DYNAMICS

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue

This class covers the recent UL/ NIST studies as it pertains to fundamental fire behavior knowledge.

9300 NW 41st street

Training Description
Firefighters and Fire Officers must have a better understanding of fire behavior and fire dynamics. Aside from the requirements listed in the FF1 curriculum, there no other industry or state mandates for further instruction specifically related to fire behavior and fire dynamics disciplines. This 8- hour class covers what recent UL/ NIST studies have revealed to scientifically prove and disprove traditional understandings within the fire service as it pertains to fundamental fire behavior knowledge. Classroom instruction provided by different formats (Instructor led, multi-media, and PPT) will provide context to definitions, address common misconceptions of traditional tactics, as well as reveal the limitations of Firefighting PPE while empowering students with the knowledge to maintain a smart aggressive edge in their duties. A practical outdoor component will involve the use of a “Palmers Dollhouse” to illustrate and reinforce the classroom instruction.
