EDITOR'S NOTE

The theme for the 2024 Safety Stand Down is “Fire Training: Back to Basics,” which emphasizes the importance of training by reinforcing proper strategies and tactics with a focus on the fundamentals. 

Safety Stand Down, to be held June 16-22, 2024, is a joint initiative of the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Safety, Health and Survival Section, the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), the Fire Department Safety Officers Association (FDSOA), and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). 

Stay tuned to www.safetystanddown.org for more information and resources in the months leading up to the campaign. 

Stay safe!

Chocks, spring clamps, latch straps, bungee cords and gear ties provide the means to secure doors in the open position when handlines are stretched.
Jonathan Hall details which doors must be secured open and closed in dwellings, apartments buildings, commercial buildings and high-rises and which devices to use on which.
Firefighters should search on their hands and knees. This keeps their hips and shoulders orientated in the direction of travel.
Paul Mastronardi offers tips for conducting a primary search in a safe and efficient manner.
