Tactical Perspectives: Mayday

In the Tactical Perspectives DVD series, Lt. Frank Ricci and other notable instructors look at command, search, ventilation, fire attack, Mayday, and Dispatch operations at residential structure fires. Using real fire footage as well as 3-D graphics, this series illustrates the essential fireground tasks from various standpoints, ranging from the officer to the firefighter. Each DVD addresses safety and the critical components of a successful fireground operation. In DVD #6: Dispatch, Chief P.J. Norwood and Lt. Ricci illustrate dispatch's role in handling a Mayday situation. Chief Norwood familiarizes the fire dispatcher with the LUNAR acronym, discusses the various equipment that firefighters use, and illustrates the importance of the dispatcher in the recognition and successful mitigation of a Mayday.

Tactical Perspectives: Dispatch

<p>Deputy Chief P.J. Norwood and Captain Sean Gray discuss how fireground strategy and tactics have evolved in light of fire research conducted around the world. They discuss the fire tetrahedron and how fuel, heat, and air all affect a fire’s growth or extinguishment. Gray and Norwood take the lessons learned from the research as well as their general knowledge of the fireground to illustrate safer and more effective ways to operate on the fireground. They discuss how to apply this new understanding of fire behavior to two of the fire service’s most important tasks: search and fire attack. This book is an important resource for anyone wanting to put new fire dynamics research to action.</p> <p>You will learn:</p> <ul>
