In this Tactical Perspectives DVD series, Frank Ricci and other notable instructors look at command, search, ventilation, and fire attack at residential fires using the same structure. Utilizing real fire footage, as well as 3-D graphics, Lt. Ricci illustrates the essential fireground tasks from various standpoints, ranging from the officer to the firefighter.

Each DVD addresses safety and the critical components of a successful fireground operation.

In DVD #1: Command, Lt. Ricci and Anthony Avillo illustrate the perspective of command.

They outline the need for planning to avoid issues, size-up to address problems on the fireground, and important tactical considerations during the execution of command.

From the command tactical perspective, they then review the issues involved in a room-and-contents fire, an attic fire and a basement fire.
