Many times there are not enough firefighters at the beginning of the incident to accomplish all the necessary tasks on the fireground. effectiveness is lost and firefighter safety is compromised because on scene personnel try to perform too many tasks rather than prioritize and complete them. The practices and concepts taught in this class are based on nationally recognized fireground priorities.
