Course Description

Water is the primary extinguishing agent for Class A fires and, in some cases, is the best option for flammable gas fires. However, for Class B fires involving flammable and combustible liquids and gases, fire fighting foams are most effective.  Proper foam and water application are crucial for extinguishment.  This course offers 4 CE hours covering water properties, stream, patterns, nozzles, and control valves.  As well as foam properties, delivery systems and application techniques.  This course offers an interactive practice session and a module quiz based off IFSTA Essentials of Firefighting 7th edition.  This course satisfies: NFPA 1001 5.3.8, 5.3.13, 5.3.14, 6.3.4
