Morning to all fire service officers across the country !!!
"Not all fires are the same it is the physics and chemistry that remains the same"
"Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes."
Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005)
PRINCIPALS OF MODERN FIRE ATTACK (S.L.I.C.E - R.S)
S.L.I.C.E. – R.S. stands for Size-Up, Location of the Fire,
Isolate the Flow Path, Cool from a Safe Distance, Extinguish
and then Rescue and Salvage are added in as necessary.
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 acronym is NOT designed to
replace the well known RECEO VS method that has been
widely adopted by the fire service over the years, but instead
is to be used by the first arriving company officer, where
RECEO VS is more for the Battalion Chief/Incident
Commander and their tactical priorities. This program also
discusses overcoming resistance to change and the lessons
learned in real world implementation.
DON'T CONFUSE "EXPERIENCE" WITH "YEARS OF SERVICE" THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS !!
A good morning to all fire service officers across the country !
