Firefighting techniques

Firefighting techniques involve various strategies to control and extinguish fires. These include **water application**, using hoses or aerial ladders to douse flames, and **foam** to smother fires, especially in hazardous materials. **Firebreaks** create barriers by removing fuel, while **ventilation** techniques help clear smoke and heat, improving visibility and safety. **Aggressive tactics** may involve directly attacking the fire, while **defensive strategies** focus on protecting surrounding structures. Firefighters also use tools like axes and saws to access fire sites. Training and collaboration are essential to ensure that techniques are applied effectively and safely in various scenarios.
