Basic Fire Fighting
Course Description
Firefighting is the act of extinguishing fires successfully. Firefighters' goals are to save lives, property and the environment. A fire can rapidly spread and endanger many lives; however, with modern firefighting techniques, catastrophe is usually, but not always, avoided. The primary risk to people in a fire are not the flames themselves, but rather smoke inhalation, which, contrary to popular belief, is the most common cause of death in a fire. The risks of smoke include: suffocation due to the fire consuming or displacing all of the oxygen from the air; poisonous gases produced by the fire as products of combustion & aspirating heated smoke that can burn the inside of the lungs and damage their ability to exchange gases during respiration.
