Description: The failure of a building or building components under fire conditions is a leading cause of fire fighter death and injury. The ability to recognize and locate relevant information about a building before a fire, and to "read" a building during the course of a fire incident, are essential survival skills.

This two-day program gives the student the ability to accomplish these tasks when confronted with a building of all types of combustible and noncombustible construction. The unique problems of conducting emergency operations in buildings under construction are also addressed.
