Search and Rescue in Private Dwellings, Part 2: Operational Considerations, Bill Gustin, Fire Engineering, 2000 (DVD Version)

This program is one in a series entitled "Bread & Butter Operations".

Since more than 80 percent of all civilian fire deaths each year occur in residential dwellings, search and rescue is an essential fireground task - as integral to firefighting as stretching and advancing hand lines for fire extinguishments.

However, such a task often places firefighters at risk, especially when searching near the seat of the fire without the protection of a charged handling.

Captain Bill Gustin, a 27-year veteran of the fire service, gives you important information to accomplish the search and rescue mission in private and multi-family dwellings.

Learn how to plan your searches, co-ordinate them with other fireground tasks, adapt them to changing conditions, and execute them as safely as possible.

This DVD, Part 2, includes fireground coordination, communications, and tactics and procedures.

30 minutes, fully narrated, DVD ONLY, DS3001 / $39.99
