This interactive course takes fire behavior beyond the textbook and into real-world application. Participants wil review fundamental fire dynamics concepts, compare the effects of ventilation, and discuss and identify flow paths as they develop. The class will cover "BAG"ing fires while taking an outside-the-box to inside-the-boxes approach, and examine how water application infulences interior conditions. Thermal imaging camera use will be reviewed to provide context for the live fire portion that follows. By connecting these principles to tactical decisions, firefighters will leave with a clearer understanding of how to read, predict and control the fire environment.
Bio:
Trevor Holliday is a 15-year student of the fire service whose passion for the job began while growing up around his local volunteer firehouse in Gore, Virginia. Realizing early on that he wanted to make a career out of the fire service, Trevor attended Eastern Kentucky University, where he earned a Bachelor’s in Fire Protection Administration and a Master’s in Safety, Security, and Emergency Management.
Throughout college, Trevor remained active in the fire service as a volunteer and worked part-time in Virginia during school breaks. He went on to serve full-time with the Clark County Fire Department (KY) following graduation. In 2022, Trevor and his family relocated to Colorado, where he completed the Colorado Springs Fire Academy before joining the Black Forest Fire Rescue Protection District.
He currently serves as a long-term Acting Lieutenant at Firehouse 2, where he focuses on training, leadership, and mentorship. Trevor is a constant student of the craft, regularly attending conferences, and maintaining certifications as an Instructor II, Live Fire Instructor, and CPSE Credentialed Fire Officer.
Outside the firehouse, Trevor is a devoted husband to his wife Emily, who truly holds everything together, and a proud father to their daughters, Hadley and Hallie.
