Advanced Pre-Planning for Complex Properties
This program describes the importance of a comprehensive pre-incident plan for complex or unusual properties.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s Fire Hero Learning Network is producing a series of Interactive Case Stories that tell the inside stories of fire incidents that have important firefighter health and safety lessons learned. Rather than a dry, academic recounting of the incident, these Interactive Case Stories take you inside the incident as it is happening, with immersive video, audio, 3D animation, storytelling, and other media to see and hear what happened directly from the firefighters and others involved. You will feel as if you were there and that’s why the lessons learned will stick with you.
The first Interactive Case Story brings you to 327 E. Boyd St., Los Angeles in the early evening of May 16, 2020. Here’s a sneak peek of what you will see:
