Catalog description

This course will introduce the student to fundamental issues relating to firefighting safety and survival. Students will evaluate case studies in which firefighters have been killed or injured, and each student will be required to give an oral presentation based on an analysis of a "near miss" fatal fire/rescue scenario. Additionally, this course will introduce the student to the National Firefighter Life Safety initiatives, which focus on the need for both cultural and behavioral change throughout the emergency services disciplines. This course may be offered in a distance education format.
