FIREFIGHTING OPERATIONS IN HIGH-RISE AND STANDPIPE EQUIPPED BUILDINGS
David M. McGrail
This training program is a one-day seminar on Firefighting Operations
in High-Rise and Standpipe Equipped Buildings. This seminar is
designed to give chief officers, company officers, and firefighters a
solid foundation upon which to build a comprehensive operational plan
for high-rise firefighting.
The central theme of Chief McGrail’s training seminar is a proper
firefighting mindset, emphasizing the need to continually fight the
deadly disease of complacency. Attendees will be given a brief review
of the construction of both high-rise and low-rise (standpipe
equipped) buildings, with a focus on the standpipe system, and the
dangers associated with standpipe system pressure regulating devices
(pressure reducing valves / pressure restricting devices).
A comprehensive discussion of engine company operations, with an
emphasis on “proper weapon selection” will highlight the critical
tools necessary for successful standpipe operations along with the
fundamental techniques and procedures to make these operations
extremely user friendly.
Chief McGrail will also address several of the essential truck company
(support) functions. This will include Chief McGrail’s Ten, Truck
Company, High-Rise, Operational R’s of Truck Company Reconnaissance.
The chorography of the entire operation rests with the incident
commander and a solid command structure to achieve overall command and
control. Chief McGrail will provide a recipe for success outlining the
six essential areas of command and control for high-rise operations
utilizing the incident command system (ICS) / national incident
management system (NIMS).
This seminar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the
essential components necessary to achieve success at high-rise
operations. Attendees of this seminar will leave armed with vital
information, and become re-energized to accomplish our most important
mission, fire suppression, in our most complicated fire environment,
the high-rise building.
