#TEFG will discuss the evolution of Strategy and Tactics in the light of Fire Research. Followers will get an insiders view of topics in the book.

As 2020 draws to a close on a challenging year. We look ahead to more normal times & reflect on our goals for 2021. The final 2020 #fFDNY “Tipsfrom Training”provides a few #firefighter 2021 resolutions. Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous, & of course a learnable new year.

[Frank Leeb @Firefrank76]

Excellent opportunity provided by @UL_FSRI for #firefighters to witness a live fire experiment. Importantly, this is also a time to ask questions and interact directly with the research engineers.

The U.S. fire service understands the need to clean PPE after fires. However, there is concern that damage from repeated cleaning may impact critical protection on the fireground. Learn more by reading our peer-reviewed @FireTechnology journal article. https://t.co/eoPqPGhKtc

[TheEvolvingFireGround @EvolvingFire]

Good example of the importance of reading smoke and recognizing changes in the neutral plane. How many firefighters in your agency would recognize these worsening conditions?”

Another important release from @UL_FSRI and @IFSIresearch #KnowYourGear #TheEvolvingFireground

[Fire Safety Research Institute @FSRI_org]

Check out our new journal article, "Impact of Repeated Exposure and Cleaning on Protective Properties of Structural Firefighting Turnout Gear" now available via @FireTechnology. Thanks to our research partners @NIOSH @IFSIresearch @GlobeTurnout. https://t.co/eoPqPG094C

Take this report and add it to your monthly training. It’s a must know for firefighters as we will only see more BESS as we continue Evolve.

Discussing the difference in today's fire environment due to lightweight construction, open floor plans, new technologies, synthetic furnishings, and more...with UL FSRI's Dan Madrzykowski during the "Ventilation Limited Fires: Considerations for Fire Pattern Analysis" Webinar.

[Fire Safety Research Institute @FSRI_org]

Smoke is fuel. Demonstrate this by blowing a candle out, then bring a match/lighter to the vapors that are coming off of the candle. As you can see, the vapors ignite and carry the flame back to the source of the fuel - the area around the wick. @ForensicCOE #ULFSRIwebinar

NEW #onlinetraining in the UL FSRI Fire Safety Academy. Take the "Cardiovascular and Chemical Exposure Risk Considerations During Training" course (https://t.co/cfScixHXaJ) to identify & incorporate best practices to reduce your crew’s risk during training/ on the fireground.

Check out this @fireengineering Training Minutes video to see a water mapping demo provided by UL FSRI Advisory Board member @cobbcountyfire Capt. Gray & Tech Panel member @LACOFD Capt. Christenson. Demo based on UL FSRI Fire Attack study ---> https://t.co/54p2wEQ1vX

[Fire Safety Research Institute @FSRI_org]

Over the last 2 years, we traveled to OH & GA to conduct research with the fire service for the “Study of Coordinated Fire Attack Utilizing Acquired Structures” funded by @FEMAGrants. Check out this overview video and stay tuned for the release of the Single-Family Homes report!

@aengler644 We love to see comments about Flow Path. Great to see people seeing the big picture! Thanks for continuing the discussion.

[TheEvolvingFireGround @EvolvingFire]

We talk about Search Size Up and getting to the egress points where victims will likely try to exit in a fire. This video is a good example of getting to the rear entry/exit that is closest to the fire and getting a GRAB. Great job by these Grass Valley, CA police officers.

[TheEvolvingFireGround @EvolvingFire]

@aengler644 Absolutely agree 100%. Hence why we need to educate our fellow first responders on Closing the Door and controlling openings. An important piece that all fire depts should work with their PD and EMS agencies to ensure they understand.
