NIOSH Row Firefighting Tactics Factsheet-Poster

Row firefighting tactics

NIOSH in collaboration with the International Fire Chiefs Association, International Fire Fighters Association, National Volunteer Fire Council, UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute, and the U.S. Fire Administration developed a fact sheet and poster that highlight tactics for fighting row house fires.

In addition to the row house firefighting tactics, the fact sheet and poster highlight:

  • areas for potential fire extension
  • typical exterior and interior features of row houses as well as the construction and materials often used to build such structures
  • quotes from a reputable fire officer and firefighter
  • additional resources, including a basement fire video from the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute

NIOSH recommends distributing the fact sheet to firefighters as part of training efforts and displaying posters in common areas of the fire department.
