Description:There is no other call more challenging to fire ground operations than the MAYDAY call - the unthinkable moment when a fire fighters personal safety is in imminent danger. Fire fighter fatality data has shown that fire fighters becoming trapped and disoriented represent the largest portion of structural fire ground fatalities. The incidents in which fire fighters have lost their lives, or lived to tell about it, have a consistent theme - inadequate situational awareness put them at risk. Firefighters don't plan on being lost, disoriented, injured, or trapped during a structure fire or emergency incident. But fires are unpredictable, volatile, and ruthless - and they will not go according to your plans. What a fire fighter knows about a fire before entering a blazing building may radically change within minutes once inside the structure. Smoke, low visibility, lack of oxygen, combustible and explosive gases, structural instability, and an unpredictable fire ground can cause even the most seasoned fire fighter to be overwhelmed in an instant. It's not a matter of IF the mayday happens, it's WHEN!The guiding fire service philosophy for decades has been training for success - we teach how to put the fire out or mitigate other hazards and hope everyone goes home. What we failed to consistently do is drill for when failure does occur and without such training fire fighters do not have the practiced skills to rely on when they get into trouble.This IAFF Fire Ground Survival program is the most comprehensive survival skills and mayday prevention program currently available within the fire service. Incorporating regulations and standards; proven incident management best practices; survival techniques developed by leaders in the field; and real case studies from experienced fire fighters, the FGS program aims to educate all career fire fighters to be prepared if the unfortunate happens.
