Weekly Drill: No. 139 - Building Collapse

Drill #139: Building Collapse

Readers will learn the three types of collapses that most firefighters should be aware of and what to look for before the collapse occurs.

The drill is designed to be a single page of information to conjure up discussions among your crew members. Sit down and talk about the exercises, and how they may apply to your company. But, just don't read them. Get moving. Head to an appropriate area and train.

Post the information in prominent places in your stations so it's readily available for review.

Please remember to check your Standard Operating Procedures or Guidelines (SOPs/SOGs) before using the drill.
