建筑有限公司nstruction

The construction type in this week's firefighter training drill is a challenge in that it hides many void spaces and areas where fire can travel through concealed spaces. Discuss these tactical questions when reviewing this drill.

Members of the fire service are constantly encouraged to study and understand building construction. Initial fire training building construction classes range from several hours to a little over a day, sometimes with a site visit. The types or classifications from Type I to Type V are reviewed, and then a quiz or exam is given. At the end of your initial training, a few questions on the exam pertain to building construction. Over the years, you review the basic material, take more classes, and move up the ranks. Soon, you are telling the younger firefighters to “know building construction.” Are you just repeating what you are hearing, or do you understand how buildings are constructed?

In this second installment of a series of firefighting drills on fire behavior and construction, Forest Reeder asks you to consider the tactical considerations you would face in a fire at a particular type of construction.
