Fire Control - Exterior
8 Hours / 1 Day
Fire Control - Exterior is the first of three classes in our Fire Control program and was developed to provide the foundational fire behaviour knowledge and the skills needed to safely and effectively fight exterior fires.
Fire Control – Exterior was designed to meet and exceed the criteria of the BC Structure Firefighter Competency & Training Playbook and align with the requirements set forth for NFPA 1001 Firefighter 1 & 2.
Corporate Course RequestLive Fire training is inarguably the most important training that a firefighter can receive
There is no substitute for real live fire when developing and maintaining the skills and abilities needed for today’s modern fire environment.
Our Fire Control Program is heavily influenced by the real-world experience of our instructors as well as the scientific research and tactical considerations released by Underwriters Laboratory Fire Safety Research Institute.
