This two-day H.O.T. class, known as the UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) Fire
Dynamics Boot Camp, is a train-the-trainer program designed to equip fire service leaders
and instructors with the latest research findings on fire behaviour and firefighting tactics -
knowledge that is essential to enhance firefighter safety, improve situational awareness,
and make informed decisions on the fireground.
Participants will learn to translate scientific research into actionable tactics and receive
instruction on effectively communicating and teaching fire dynamics concepts to others.
Experienced instructors affiliated with FSRI and the Alberta Fire Training Officers
Association (AFTOA) will guide participants through the core concepts of fire dynamics,
allow students to engage in interactive exercises and live fire demonstrations, and analyze
case studies of fire events to understand the practical applications of fire dynamics in the
real world. All of these will empower the participants with the skills and knowledge to
teach fire dynamics principles effectively in a controlled environment.
In an addition, students are welcome and encouraged to attend an optional Saturday
afternoon session where the presenters will discuss how they have implemented current
research into their departments and the changes that have come from it. They will help you
navigate ways in which you can do the same, based on the structure and needs of your
department.
Who Should Attend
Fire service instructors, training officers, and leaders responsible for developing and
delivering fire training programs for their departments.
Prerequisites
