DEALING WITH HIGH-RISE FIRES

This 3-day course aims to prepare fire officers and their crews to deal with fires at high rises where the challenge of large spaces, large number of people and the vertical fire spread makes such incidents a very challenging one. Huge number of firefighters, fire equipment including hundreds of self contained breathing apparatuses and long hose lays constitute another logistical and manpower demanding situation.
