Another clip that I caught at a CFBT burn at Wellington Training Centre the other week. This one features one of our newest recruits, firefighter Colby Leech. Attack burns are the second lot of training burns that firefighters undergo as new recruits. The initial training focuses on fire development and behaviour, while the second lot of training (seen in this video) focuses on utilising newly learned firefighting skills to identify various fire conditions and react to them instinctively. Firefighters practice door entry procedures, like those we discussed in a post a few days ago, and a full rotation of the cell; advancing on the fire, carrying out regular temperature checks to check if it's safe to advance, making their way to the seat of the fire, and then a practice retreat, simulating the actions firefighters would take to remove themselves from untenable fire conditions. #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #chiefmiller #firescience #cfbt #flames #smoke #firebehavior #firebehaviour @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Wellington, New South Wales)
