??Indirect Cooling in High-Rise Fires: A Critical Approach to Life Safety and Firefighter Survival?? When faced with a high-rise apartment fire, indirect cooling becomes a vital tactic in protecting both lives and property. By directing streams of water onto surfaces to cool heated gases and suppress the fire’s intensity, we can make the environment safer for both civilians and firefighters, during our recent dry-hose stretch training evolutions this week, at Firehouse. ?? Key Points on Indirect Cooling: ? Life Safety: Reducing the fire’s heat output through indirect cooling helps to sustain life, lowering the risk for civilians trapped in upper floors. ? Firefighter Safety: By cooling down high temperatures and preventing flashovers, this tactic allows firefighters to move in more safely while maintaining visibility and air quality. ? Low-Pressure, High-Volume Nozzles: Utilizing nozzles with lower pressure but higher water volume ensures greater reach and control over the spread of water during indirect cooling efforts. This tactic can be especially effective in controlling heat in larger, open areas found in high-rise apartments. With the combination of low-pressure, high-volume nozzles and strategic application of indirect cooling, we can more effectively suppress high-rise fires while keeping our crews and civilians safe. #FirefighterTraining #HighRiseFire #FireSuppression #FireSafety #IndirectCooling #LifeSafety #FirefighterSafety #FirehouseTraining #NozzleTactics #HighVolumeNozzles #LowPressureNozzles #FireTactics #Firefighting #FireRescue #FireDept

Door control is critical when making entry into a high-rise building during a fire, just like our crews are demonstrating during this weeks Firehouse Training night, in Huron County.???? Firefighters must prioritize both their safety and that of the occupants by maintaining a controlled entry. Utilizing hose lines from the front door to cool the apartment space is essential for reducing the fire’s intensity and maximizing occupant survival. Keeping the door closed as long as possible helps prevent the fire from spreading further, while quickly deploying water to cool the space provides a safer environment for both search and rescue operations and evacuation efforts. Key high-rise firefighting tactics: ? Establish a clear plan for stairwell use—one for firefighting and another for occupant evacuation. ? Ensure fire pumps and standpipes are operational to support proper water supply to upper floors. ? Utilize wind control devices when dealing with wind-driven fires to manage airflow and prevent rapid fire spread. ? Consider pressurizing stairwells to keep smoke out and aid in safe evacuation. ? Always communicate effectively with other crews operating on different floors to coordinate efforts and maintain situational awareness. ?? #HighRiseFirefighting #FireSafety #DoorControl #FirefighterTactics #OccupantSurvival #HoseLineOperations #FirefighterTraining #StandpipeOperations

Mastering the 2 1/2” Hose Line in Snowy, Wintry Conditions ???? When the temperature drops, tactics shift. Handling a 2 1/2” medium diameter hose line in freezing conditions requires precision, teamwork, and strategy. ?? Key Tips for Winter Firefighting with a 2 1/2” Line: ?? Use Gravity to Your Advantage: Bring that nozzle reaction down to the ground. Controlling the reaction force at lower pressures allows for better control and stability in slippery, icy conditions. ?? Backup Firefighter Support: When dealing with exterior attacks on barn fires, structure fires, or other large-scale incidents, having a backup firefighter managing the line is essential. Their role is to help absorb the nozzle reaction, guide the hose, and ensure steady, sustained water flow. ?? Adapting to the Elements: Snow and ice underfoot add complexity. Proper footing, careful movements, and clear communication are essential to avoid slips and maintain control. ?? Full Flow, Lower Pressure: When flowing high volumes of water at lower pressures, it’s critical to control the hose line using body positioning, leverage, and the support of a backup firefighter. Over the past few days, we had the opportunity to train in the elements of Northern Ontario, working side-by-side with volunteer fire crews. These dedicated firefighters braved the cold to refine their skills, practice hose handling tactics, and prepare for the unique challenges of winter firefighting. The hands-on experience and lessons learned will undoubtedly benefit their teams and their communities. When exterior attacks are needed in below-freezing temperatures, it’s not just about water flow — it’s about coordination, technique, and safety. Stay sharp, stay steady, and always bring that nozzle reaction to the ground. #FirefightingTactics #WinterFirefighting #HoseLineControl #2andAHalf #Teamwork #ExteriorAttack #BarnFire #StructureFire

Understanding the Australian Fire Danger Rating System (AFDRS) is crucial for bushfire safety. The AFDRS brings a streamlined approach with four simplified rating levels. It's designed to give you clear, actionable advice to protect yourself and your loved ones from the hazards of bushfires. ?????? Check the DFES website for more information: https://lnkd.in/gM2Pv3eP Remember: Check the FDR daily for your area. Understand what each level means. Your safety is in your hands! #BushfireSafety #ShireOfEastPilbara #DFES #AFDRS
