EDITOR'S NOTE

We’re excited to be putting the finishing touches on the FireFusion conference program, bringing together operations and department leadership with technological tools, software, and programs designed to move the fire service forward.

A sampling of the topics covered in this unique curriculum of sessions include incident command, accountability and personnel management solutions; artificial intelligence (AI) for training and daily operations; drones and robotics; high-tech tools and equipment; and how technology that’s outside of the fire service affects emergency scenes. 

FireFusion takes place Nov. 5-7, 2024, at the Charleston Gaillard Center in Charleston, SC. Registration is now open, but act fast, as attendance will be limited.

Stay safe!

Robert Policht provides the steps that smaller departments should take to develop basic shoring capabilities.
Upon arrival of the first units, a tractor-trailer truck had rear-ended a car. The truck dragged the car under its wheels and crashed through the bridge. Landing 100 feet below, the truck caught fire and the car was hanging off the highway directly above.
Three people were trapped in car that was hanging 100 feet in the air after a collision with tractor-trailer truck.
Basic mechanical-advantage systems are incorporated into rapid intervention for the purpose of dragging, lifting or raising downed firefighters. Training on their use should be consistent. Time is of the essence.
Chief Jeffrey Pindelski explains the 18 points of consideration that fire departments address on their way to developing successful rapid-intervention teams.
