Members of the #IFD Training Division, invited IFD Shift Training Officers (STO's) and firefighters to participate in 3 days of train the trainer training for the brand new #IFD Burn Building. The high tech facility sits on the northeast side of the new IFD Training Academy, at 33rd and Post Rd, set to open later this fall. The configuration of the burn building, custom built for IFD, provides a much more realistic "fire" experience for our incumbent and recruit firefighters than previous training structures.
As technology has improved so has the opportunity to construct realistic burns, using less material and easier set up. Working smarter not harder. The building houses 6 burn chambers and offers an unlimited number of scenario options. The training was part of a commitment by the manufacture, Fire Training Structures, to ensure that members of the IFD training staff were well versed in all the ways the tower could be utilized.
Big thanks to uber #FTS instructor and Sacramento firefighter Rick Clarke, for providing the training.
