To be safe and effective on the fireground it is critical for fire officers and firefighters to have exceptional knowledge and understanding of the types of buildings, building construction methods, occupancies, collapse hazards, construction materials and how the buildings they will be operating in will respond under fire conditions. Frank Brannigan, one of the authors of the building construction textbook adopted by New Jersey said it best when he coined the phrase “The building is your enemy, know your enemy.”

This two-day Building Construction Training Program will provide attendees with the requisite knowledge of building construction types, methods, materials, hazards and operational considerations that fire officers and firefighters need to acquire to achieve success on the fireground. Fire officers who attend the program will meet the 12-hour building construction training requirements for Fire Officer I Certification in New Jersey.
