Firefighter Rescue Survey and FSRI: The Facts and Physics of the Fireground

August 14, 2025

This groundbreaking class draws on data from over 4,000 real fireground rescues and cutting-edge research by FSRI (part of UL Research Institutes). For the first time, the American fire service has tactical, science-backed guidance for search and rescue operations.

Key topics include:

  • Search size-up
  • Firefighter Rescue Survey insights
  • FSRI’s search study findings
  • Coordinating search with attack and ventilation

The goal: improve effectiveness and efficiency to better protect those trapped inside burning buildings.
