Knee Wall Fire Tactics

Tactics and techniques to identify and combat one of our most challenging and treacherous fire types.

Identifying Knee Walls & Knee Wall Fires

Fires in knee wall spaces are a common, yet challenging and treacherous type of fire. If not quickly identified and addressed with effective tactics, these fires can quickly get out of control and cause loss of the building and potentially cause serious injury to firefighters.

This course utilizes incident studies from the instructor's own experience, real fireground video scenes, and a lot of motivation to ignite passion for the job. It is delivered from the perspective of street-smart firefighting, and provides proven mindsets, strategies, and tactics that can be implemented tonight to improve your fireground and stop the fire where you found it.

In-Person Seminars

The Knee Wall Fire Tactics program builds upon the core concepts in our First Alarm Strategy and Tactics program and will help firefighters, company officers, and incident commanders operate more safely and effectively at these challenging and dangerous fires.

When delivered in-person, the Knee Wall Fire Tactics program is recommended in one of two ways:

As a stand-alone 2-hour seminar
Combined with any of our other classes for a custom 1-2 day in-person training program
Or, as an online add-on to the First Alarm Strategy and Tactics program (or any of trainings)

Hands-On Training

Our objective is to provide a fun, engaging, positive learning environment where each student receives individual attention and has the opportunity to openly engage the instructors with questions.

At the end of the program, it is our hope that your members will have even greater skill and confidence to be able to safely and effectively execute on the fireground.

We also offer 4-hour seminar courses online which is a great option for departments looking to include more members in the classroom portion, plus maximize hands-on training time onsite.

If you are interested in a hands-on component to this course, please contact us and we will work with you to build a hands-on program to meet your department’s needs.

Great job. Love the passion, appreciate the honesty. Anyone who says they haven't made mistakes just hasn't been around long enough to. 1-0 might be a perfect record, but it's also just one win (and probably a lucky one). Making mistakes is human but not learning from them is inexcusable.

Matt Alexander

This is a must MUST watch.
