Ch 116 The Half Landing Window
About this episode
Mickey discusses the importance of the half landing window in firefighting and its impact on controlling the environment during a fire.
In this episode, Mickey talks about why taking the half landing window above the fire in a multiple dwelling is more than just breaking glass. He breaks down stairwell pressure, timing, door control, and how coordinated ventilation supports movement, search, and positioning above the fire. This episode dives into reading the building, understanding flow path, and why every opening you create changes the fight. Professional firefighting is about controlling the environment before it controls you.
