Applying City Fire Operations to the Rural Environment

Written by Combat Ready Fire | Oct 23, 2024 7:38:04 PM

Fires may burn with the same physics in the “county" as they do in the “city", but often resources, manpower and other factors create challenges for applying traditional fire tactics to the rural or county environment. In this episode we’ll discuss how we apply common fire tactics from the city environment to the county and rural environments. We’ll get into the specifics of water supply, fire attack, search, ventilation, plus anything else thrown at us during the live Q&A!

Nick is joined by Frank Malta (Frederick, MD) and Jake Richardson (SFD) - all who have experience as both firefighters in a well-staffed city environment, and also have to apply the same tactics in a lower staffed county environment. This is a great opportunity to learn from each other hear some new or interesting strategies you can take with you and adapt to your own environment.
