Day in and day out, we respond to the same types of emergencies, over and over. Unfortunately, in time, we tend to consider them routine emergencies. We take it for granted that these responses are nothing to worry about, and we assume that we know what to do and how to stay safe. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. What starts out as a Routine Emergency can wind up as a fire or an incident that turns deadly to firefighters and those we protect.

Do you train on how to investigate a smoke odor? Do all of your firefighters know how natural gas can migrate underground and enter a building some distaqnce from the leak? What are the hazards faced at an electrical substation? What must be done to keep everyone safe at a electric manhole fire. A wire has been knocked down by a falling tree limb. What are the hazards? If your fireifghters do not know the how and the why of the hazards faced at these so called 'routine' emergencies, they are at risk.

This seminar will point out the hazards faced and describe the tactics and precautions that will keep everyone safe on your next 'routine' response. Gas and electrical emergencies and fires are covered along with carbon monoxide responses, CO investigations and an CO detector operation. The hazards and tactics used at water main breaks and structural water leaks as well as home heating emergencies and fires including the deadly "White Ghost" will be covered.

This seminar is offered both in a four hour lecture format and in a eight hour interactive seminar format and both can be customized to suite your training needs.

The eight hour course includes pre tests for each topic as well as a scenario which gives each attendee a chance to practice making fireground decisions on the topics covered.
