ENGINE COMPANY OPERATIONS
Battalion Chief Gerald Tracy, FDNY (Ret.)
When it comes to training in the fire service unless you’re the firefighter with the nozzle nothing about engine ops is sexy. What I mean by that all the other duties of the Engine are not considered exciting, stimulating or appealing like that of forcing doors, cutting roofs and laddering windows for search and rescue. The facts are it is the engine that puts out the fire, with the teamwork of the members that comprise the team. This presentation will expound upon the challenge, fire behavior, and the efficiency of operations that will get you home safe from the fire ground.

STORE FIRE TACTICS
Deputy Assistant Chief John Norman, FDNY (Ret.), SOC
Fires in stores and other commercial occupancies are severe threats to our firefighters. More firefighters are killed per alarm in commercial fires than any other fire. Fortunately store fires are not everyday affairs, but as a result many departments try to apply “house fire tactics” to store fires, with disastrous results.

PRACTICAL SEARCH OPERATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Lieutenant Mickey Conboy, FDNY Rescue Co. 3
This class will discuss several factors that will influence your search operations in residential buildings today including how to read the different types of layouts before you have to conduct a search. It will also present various techniques and procedures including the tried and proven method of VES, to successfully complete a smart search in the residential buildings you respond to in your departments.
