Are You Ready 3.0; Bringing Fire Dynamics Research to the Fireground

Elyria High School

Bringing Fire Dynamics Research to The Fireground - SLICERS 

Chief Buchanan will present two, 2 hour segments discussing a real-world case study of taking the latest in fire dynamics research to the street level.  While most agree that the latest research can improve firefighter safety, they struggle to translate the research into fireground tactics and implement that change in a successful manner.  This program rethinks the tactics of old and incorporates the latest research into tactics using the S.L.I.C.E.R.S method. S.L.I.C.E.R.S is an acronym developed to “operationalize” fire dynamic research concepts.  The concept has been vetted with the lead researchers involved and has their endorsements.  The program also discusses overcoming resistance to change and the lessons learned in real world implementation.
