Side Charlie Engine Operations
Side Charlie engine operations are often overlooked but vital, secondary water supply, adding attack lines and supporting fireground ops.
This is a 1 day 8 hour course on 5/2/2026.
Often, the most underappreciated and underutilized tactic on the fireground is an Engine Company operating on the Charlie side. Operating in the rear as an engine company can pose many challenges including access and obstacles that are often overlooked. This 8 Hour hands on course will cover long lines and the hydraulics behind them, how to stretch and overcome commonly encountered obstacles, tactical considerations while operating opposite of other companies, forcible entry from the engine company and more.
