FIGHTING CAR FIRES, Fire Engineering, 1998 (DVD Version)
This program, available in both DVD and VHS formats, is one in a series entitled "Bread & Butter Operations".
Car fires may be common to the fire service, but they should never be considered routine.
Firefighters who fight such fires with a complacent attitude are setting themselves up for serious injuries.
Be aware of the hidden dangers - from flammable liquids to exploding components to oncoming traffic, and how to protect yourself by wearing the proper equipment, employing the correct tactics, and operating with adequate resources.
This DVD teaches safe and effective techniques for extinguishing car fires. It discusses the main features and components of newer cars and how they effect firefighting efforts, as well as what to expect with fires in older makes and models.
See from actual car fires how magnesium reacts when present, what happens when the fire reaches the fuel tank, how to spot apparatus, approach the scene,and the best ways to open hoods and trunks.
This VERY AFFORDABLE DVD is ideal for departmental training drills, basic firefighter training curriculum, refresher courses, and video libraries.
17 minutes, fully narrated, DVD version, DF1650 / $39.99
