This 2-day course provides delegates with advanced operational training in Fire Behaviour and tactical decision making when firefighting in structures.

With changes in architectural design and more innovative construction methodologies, it is essential for today's modern firefighters to understand the optimal tactical ventilation tactics and techniques required for different types of buildings.

Fire Behaviour Training forms a vital part of the overall strategy for Breathing Apparatus wearers in both the Fire and Rescue Service and Industry.

With major developments in car safety over the last decade and a global shift towards electrification, today’s emergency crews face far greater challenges and complexities in extricating casualties safely from vehicles than ever before.

With the release of the National Operational Guidance in 2020 and in line with current updates to training and use of Breathing Apparatus, the FSC has updated the BA instructors course to encompass these modifications, continuing to meet the high level of learner requirements so that they can implement these changes at both Local and National levels.
