Today’s #TacticalTuesday video featuring UL FSRI’s Dan Madrzykowski explains what “pushing fire” really means. It has been taught that all hose streams can push fire. That is not accurate. Pressure is needed to create the push; therefore, it is stream choice and nozzle movement that impact whether or not fire can be pushed. Additionally, there must be a flow path and oxygen available downstream of the fire in order to push fire. Effective cooling of the fire compartment always reduces the potent

Today’s #TacticalTuesday featuring UL FSRI Director, Steve Kerber, focuses on how fire development changes when a fire becomes ventilation limited. One of the first things every firefighter learns about fire is the fire triangle. Fire needs fuel, heat and oxygen to survive. Fire growth is definitely related to the amount of fuel and heat that is available, but it is the amount of oxygen that is making the difference in how fast the fire is allowed to release heat. Control the oxygen, and you hav

Today’s #TacticalTuesday video featuring UL FSRI’s Dan Madrzykowski explains why firefighters should keep the wind at their back. When entering a structure or initiating fire attack, knowing the wind direction is a critical fireground factor. Winds greater than 5 mph will directly affect the rate at which the fire develops and potentially jeopardize the safety of the advancing crew(s). Knowing whether the wind is at your back or if you are going against the wind is a key size-up factor. Entering

Today’s #TacticalTuesday video featuring UL FSRI Advisory Board Member and Division Chief for Montgomery County (MD) Fire & Rescue, Charles Bailey, explains how heat is transferred through turnout gear. One of the most important lessons we as firefighters must understand is the use and limitations of our PPE. While we may not be able to out-perform the thermal limitations of our turnouts, by applying the right tactics, we can certainly enhance our operational effectiveness and reduce the potenti

Today’s #tacticaltuesday video featuring UL FSRI’s Keith Stakes explains why forcing the front door must be thought of as ventilation. Forcing the front door needs to be considered in the same way as any other form of horizontal ventilation. When a door is open for firefighter entry, it is also open for air to pass through and can create a new flow path for the fire. Coordination of forcing the door and suppression is key. Check out our project page for reports/online training to learn more abou
