Firefighter Chainsaw Training Video Covers Basic Firefighter Roof Ventilation Principles

Super Vac Regional Sales Manager Gary Wilkins provides basic firefighter chainsaw training during a Central Alabama Training Solution annual training event. Attendees attempted firefighter roof ventilation cuts using battery- and gas-powered fire ventilation saws equipped with a depth gauge. Firefighters cut into decking material with unexposed rafters and double-layer shingles.

Where did yall get that roof simulator? Would you be able to share any information on how to build one?

[@GrowWildOutdoors]

If you're building a roof simulator for training, make sure it's set to the angle of structures in your jurisdiction.

How about a, "Putting water on burning material." video? Because, Vertical Ventilation is pretty stupid and eliminating the threat is pretty smart.

Roof ventilation has its place, it just gets misused. A ton of firefighters better than you and I use roof ventilation all the time successfully to remove those hot gases. Firefighting is a lot more complicated than "putting water on burning material". What happens when the fire is ventilation controlled and there are no places to put the exhaust flow? Every situation is different and Im not going to throw out any strategies.
