NEW ONLINE COURSE AVAILABLE! Head to the UL FSRI Fire Safety Academy to take the new "Understanding and Fighting Basement Fires" course: https://s.ul.org/2HjzL7...t This online course explores the results of fire experiments conducted as part of the collaborative Understanding and Fighting Basement Fires project between UL FSRI and the International Society of Fire Service Instructors to reduce risk and improve firefighter effectiveness when fighting below-grade fires. After taking this course, you will be able to: Describe the basic principles of fire dynamics, including he stages of fire development, heat release rate, and flow path. Categorize below-grade spaces based on exterior access and describe the fire behavior associated with each category. Chronicle the previous research that provided the foundation for this project and describe the basement fire experiments. Incorporate tactical considerations based on experimental results into standard operating guidelines to improve firefighter effectiveness, safety, and occupant tenability. In part, this project was supported by a Department of Homeland Security and FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant. #TacticalTuesday #FirefighterTraining
