Summary
This webinar will help firefighters train and prepare for various self-survival skills on the fireground, with the goal of preventing the mayday call, or the rapid intervention team deployment. The veteran instructor will share tips for personal air management skills, including awareness of your SCBA bottle’s capacity and air levels and emergency breathing techniques to calm yourself during emergency situations. The webinar will address identifying thermal conditions that may result in a firefighter taking evasive actions to exit the structure unconventionally, as well as actions to avoid being placed in this position. The webinar will also cover various self-survival skills, including low-profile maneuvers and preventing entanglement techniques, wall-breaching, bailout skills and illustrate ways to keep orientation, even in heavy smoke conditions.
