Overcoming the Hazards of Suspended Ceilings – 2hrs
Every day, fire companies work with suspended ceilings above them. At first glance, the ceilings do not seem to be a problem, but all too often firefighters get caught in their traps, and we end up mourning another lost brother or sister. Suspended ceilings pose a serious risk in themselves and in the obstacles hidden above them. Among the topics addressed are identification of the components of the ceiling grid, how the grid is constructed, what may be above the ceilings, what happens to the building once the ceiling is removed, the tools that will and will not work on these assemblies, and how to implement evacuation procedures from these assemblies.
