VentEnterSearch’s own Eric Wheaton and Jimm Walsh will be teaching a H.O.T. class titled Can Confidence on October 11th, 2014 at the Florida State Fire College located in Ocala, (FL.) This class is designed to build confidence on one of the most often neglected tools found on nearly every fire apparatus, the 2 1/2 gallon water extinguisher. The “Can†can be an extremely effective lifesaving tool by allowing a well-trained fireman to quickly apply water between fire and victims.
Attendees will learn proper filling and pressurization steps, how to build homemade carrying straps and other useful “Can†modifications. The class will also cover valuable skills on carrying and searching with the “Can,†and confining fire with it as well. Students will cycle through a “force an interior door off its hinges†prop and use this door to hold back live fire and smoke. Finally, attendees will perform live fire attacks with nothing more than a “Can†and witness the effect of the “Can†on pre-flashover conditions.
Time: 9:00am or 1:00pm
Cost:Â $30

Looks like it would be a very interesting class. How did it go?
The class went extremely well Zach. We’ve had a ton of good feed back on our Can Confidence class. It will be offered at the Orlando Fire Conference in February. Thanks for your interest in this class.
Still offer this class?
@ Keith, Yes we still run this program. The next class will be next month at MAFFC.
Is there a multi day class covering can confidence that you are aware of? If so do you have any contact info for the class?
Thank you in Advance
Rob
is there a power point or any materials your willing to provide to view for this class?
