🔥 BIG BOX WORKSHOP IN PHOENIX! 🚒 We're kicking off a two-day Blue Card Big Box Workshop today at the Alan V. Brunacini Command Training Center in Phoenix, Arizona! We're excited to have Shane Ray, President of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), joining us as we take a deep dive into the unique challenges of managing fires in large commercial buildings, warehouses, and distribution centers. Not long ago, a 150,000-square-foot big box store was considered enormous. Today, fulfillment centers and warehouses routinely exceed 1 MILLION square feet! These buildings are different. Their fire protection systems, life safety profiles, critical factors, and tactical considerations demand a different approach to incident command. Over the next two days, we'll focus on: 🚒 Understanding fire sprinkler and protection systems 🚒 Identifying Big Box critical factors 🚒 Strategic decision-making and risk management 🚒 Division/Sector operations and tactical supervision 🚒 Applying what we've learned through realistic Big Box command simulations The goal isn't simply to fight a bigger fire. It's to understand the building, work with its fire protection systems, and make better strategic and tactical decisions. A big thank you to Shane Ray and the NFSA for their continued partnership and commitment to firefighter safety and education! #BlueCard #BShifter #BigBoxWorkshop #NFSA #FireSprinklers #IncidentCommand #FireServiceTraining #FirefighterSafety @NFSAorg @chiefrays
