Fighting Fires Inside the Box with Eric Wahlberg

Are you tired of being told to “think outside the box?”

Well, if you are, I have good news: today’s show is about thinking inside the box.

It’s about looking at structures as a series of boxes, determining which box has the active fire in it, and how to attack that fire. Boxes determine flow path in large modern residential structures.

It’s an interesting idea, and it was developed for the Plano, Texas Fire Department by today’s guest, Eric Wahlberg, a 30-year veteran of Fire/Rescue and an assistant chief. He is also a Master Firefighter with the state of Texas.
