Flashover Recognition (Open Registration)

Flashover is the stage of a fire at which all surfaces, gasses, and products of combustion are heated to their ignition temperature and flame breaks out almost at once within the compartment area. This course will teach you to develop a working definition of a flashover, understand the 3 phases of flashover development, identify the 5 signs of an impending flashover, identify factors that can influence the development of a flashover, associated tactics such as PPV and VES and give you the understanding of the benefits and limitations of our structural fire fighting gear. We will also cover firefighter survival techniques in the unfortunate event a flashover occurs.

Firefighters seldom have the opportunity to observe a fire as it goes through its life cycle and this course will provide all of this information and more.

***Please register as a Department. Individual registrations will not be honored at this time.
