Chief Officer Training Curriculum

This training module provides an in-depth understanding of dormitory construction features and inherent firefighting challenges. Participants will learn to identify different types of construction (ordinary, noncombustible, and mixed), establish incident objectives, select tactics, and request necessary resources. The focus on life safety includes strategies for evacuation, installation of fire prevention systems, and regular training drills. Through a simulation exercise, participants will engage in practical applications of their knowledge to enhance response effectiveness during incidents.

  1. Chief Officer Training Curriculum Operations Module 16: Dormitory Simulation Exercise

  2. Objectives • Identify construction features of dormitories • Identify firefighting problems inherent in dormitory construction • Establish incident objectives • Determine strategies

  3. Objectives (continued) • Select tactics • Identify and request resources • Select alternate solutions • Establish an appropriate ICS organization to manage the incident

  4. Overview • Construction features and firefighting in dormitories • Ordinary construction • Noncombustible construction • Mixed construction • Life safety, fire training, and fire prevention

  5. Ordinary Construction Features • Describes a variety of buildings • Limit to height of masonry buildings • Wood-joist flooring • Roof construction

  6. Firefighting—Ordinary Construction • Structural stability • Efficiency of masonry walls • Void spaces • Stability of the interior

  7. Noncombustible Construction Features • Common in high-rise/mid-rise structures • Concrete frame • Steel frame • Fire-resistive requirements • Columns: 3 hours • Girders and beams: 2 hours • Roofs: 2 hours • Floors: 2 hours • Exterior walls: 4 hours

  8. Firefighting—Noncombustible Construction • Compartmentation • Open-space areas • Access • Ventilation

  9. Firefighting—Noncombustible Construction (continued) • Water supply • Resources • Strategy/tactics • Life safety

  10. Mixed Construction Features • Often composites of older sections • Newer sections often fire resistive • Mixed construction often creates voids

  11. Firefighting—Mixed Construction • Similar to firefighting in ordinary construction • Concealed void spaces • Lack of proper compartmentalization • Common lofts or attics

  12. Life Safety/Fire Training/Fire Prevention • Understanding 911 • Frequent evacuation drills • Accessibility to room keys • Installation of self-closing doors

  13. Life Safety/Fire Training/Fire Prevention (continued) • Installation of sprinklers/smoke detectors • Limiting highly combustible interior decorations • Frequent inspection programs • Changing fire safety attitudes
