The Top 20 Tactical Considerations from Firefighter Research
Over the past several years, the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute has been working with the fire service to examine fire dynamics and firefighting tactics. More than 300 experiments have examined the changes in the fire environment over time, the impact of ventilating ventilation-limited fires, and the implications of flow control and effectiveness in suppression tactics.
UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute is dedicated to increasing firefighter knowledge to reduce
injuries and deaths in the fire service and in the communities they serve.
