Tactical Firefighting UK is an informal group recently set up hoping to link every UK FRS together and allow for collaboration and knowledge sharing through individuals responsible for BA training delivery.
One example of this is the BE-SAHF model, an internationally recognised method of 'reading the fire' adopted by some fire services which Lewis White and Dave Berry will discuss.

This conversation delves into the evolution and importance of tactical firefighting in the UK, focusing on the collaborative efforts among firefighters to enhance training and situational awareness. Pete, Dave & Lewis discuss the B-SAHF model, which serves as a mnemonic for situational awareness, and explore various aspects of firefighting, including the significance of networking, the role of breathing apparatus, and the dynamics of heat and flame. The discussion emphasizes the need for continuous learning and adaptation in firefighting practices to improve safety and effectiveness.
