Why do we fight fire?
I suppose for most of us it starts as being drawn to the excitement, the rush or the desire to help others. As we mature and begin to understand the make up and characteristics of fire, we begin to follow and strategize the plan to stop fire. More water is not always the best answer. Position and planning can stop more fire than just plain water.
Heavy water (water with foam added) can work better than just water. Venting a roof to remove heat and gases gives the firefighter better visibility and access to the fire. We can talk all day but when we practice these methods we learn and understand first hand their intentions. Below are pictures from our latest training and actual live burn. We learn by doing and seeing firsthand how the methods work. Thanks to everyone involved in a safe and effective training session. - Doug
