Series 3: Stretching and Positioning on Waldorf
First responders gather under one roof to walk through occupancies, followed by a chance to stretch, position, and operate within the occupancy. First responders are provided a fire location and utilize the floor plans of the occupancy to efficiently stretch and position apparatus around the occupancy. Property owners are given an overview and documentation of the training.

Series 2: Apartment Fire Simulation
The Application of Structural Pre-Plans provides first responders with the ability to apply the critical information within Structural Pre-Plans before, during, and after incident responses. Responders utilize the location of apartments, stairwells, and hallways to quickly and efficiently develop an attack plan, while incident command monitors the location of interior crews and reported fire locations on an interactive floor plan.
