Some footage from the initial stages of the Phase II recruit firefighter CFBT burn at Wellington a few days ago. There's even footage of the Deputy Commissioner! We'll post some of the fire attack rotations soon. #firetraining #firescience #cfbt #compartmentfire #firebehaviour #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Wellington, New South Wales)

Another clip that I caught at a CFBT burn at Wellington Training Centre the other week. This one features one of our newest recruits, firefighter Colby Leech. Attack burns are the second lot of training burns that firefighters undergo as new recruits. The initial training focuses on fire development and behaviour, while the second lot of training (seen in this video) focuses on utilising newly learned firefighting skills to identify various fire conditions and react to them instinctively. Firefighters practice door entry procedures, like those we discussed in a post a few days ago, and a full rotation of the cell; advancing on the fire, carrying out regular temperature checks to check if it's safe to advance, making their way to the seat of the fire, and then a practice retreat, simulating the actions firefighters would take to remove themselves from untenable fire conditions. #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #chiefmiller #firescience #cfbt #flames #smoke #firebehavior #firebehaviour @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Wellington, New South Wales)

Firefighter Hawkins testing out our relatively new 38mm branch. The bail is so stiff on it that it almost requires ten firefighters to turn it on, so you may as well forget about doing any gas cooling with it. Back to the old "wet stuff on the red stuff" here in Gulgong. Fire science. Ha. What is that? That stuff is for beginners. We're just drowning fires out here in the wild, wild west. #justkidding #justkiddingmurray #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrmann #firehose #firetruck #firescience #cfbt #firebehaviour #gallet #galletf1 #galletf1xf #gulgong (at Gulgong, New South Wales)
