Major structural collapse incidents occur more than 350 times each year across the United States. These incidents are highly complex; operations involving command, search, basic and technical rescue, and medical treatment and transport are melded into a single, coordinated operation. The potential for injury to trapped victims and responders is high. These are "low-occurrence/high-risk" events, and they must be trained on regularly to maintain proficiency.
FETN's Structure Fires training explores the preparation a firefighter must undergo to be ready and able to respond to structural fires with an emphasis on safety elements and steps related to safety that should be performed upon arrival at a structural fire.
