3D Firefighting
The Fire Risk Management Program at National Research Council (NRC) of Canada has
initiated a study to review current firefighting technologies in an effort to improve the safety and effectiveness of firefighting teams. Our initial research efforts have resulted in the
research report on the three dimensional (3D) Water Fog
Technique introduced by the Swedish Fire Service and reported on throughout
this website by Paul Grimwood. In the report, current research and applications of this technique for firefighting services worldwide have been reviewed, and future studies on this technique have been identified and recommended in order to provide more insights into the technique.
3D Firefighting addresses structure fires in the gaseous phase as opposed to
the fuel phase. This means that firefighters are trained in fire behavior and
fire dynamics from a practical viewpoint. The result is a greater appreciation
and awareness of ventilation profiles and countering techniques used to enter
fire compartments and remain there safely. 3D Firefighters learn to recognize
risk; to evaluate risk and finally to manage risk.
The NRC reports on tests by the US Navy where 3D methods were used in a
range of compartment fire situations (Click the link on the left for their
report).
Ex London & New York firefighter Paul Grimwood heads our network of international instructors. Using special training techniques, including Visual Pattern Recognition (VPR) and Problem Based Learning (PBL), they ensure that whatever is learned in the
3D training environment is taken out onto the fire-ground. This is absolutely essential if limited training resources are to be optimized and key 'real world' objectives met.
