Vocational training of firefighting team leaders and commanders in strategy, tactics and methodology to ensure a safe working enviroment for firefighters

Too many fire fighters are killed or injured when responding to fires inside burning buildings, and therefore the policy needs to be changed to fight firers from the outside.Through FIREFIGHT II the training is focused on fighting the fire from the outside of the building with the new Cutting and Extinguishing Concept (CEC) methodology and technology, which also limits secondary damage from water and smoke and minimizes negative environmental consequences. The final result of FIREFIGHT II is a blended e-learning programme based on the “FIREFIGHT II Decision Making Model”. This programme is generic and achievable for practical use in education and training of incident commanders. It has an inter-active character which draws the user to each element of the course and illustrates or compares the use and effects of the different cutting extinguishing concept components. Reference resources plans (4 – 5 plans) and table-top exercises are blended into the programme.
