Whether you are on an engine or a truck, success on the fireground is based on how well you perform the basics. This presentation covers initial engine and truck company tactics on the fireground. We will review basic fireground tactics from both the engine and truck company perspective (line placement, attack and backup lines, inside and outside truck operations). We will also look at coordinated operations—putting it all together on the fireground. Finally, we will talk about developing a training program that gets results on the fireground.
Jim McCormack has been a firefighter for 19 years and is currently a lieutenant with the Indianapolis Fire Department. He is the founder and president of the Fire Department Training Network (www.fdtraining.com), a membership network dedicated to firefighter training, and author of the books: Firefighter Survival and Firefighter Rescue and Rapid Intervention Teams.
