High-rise firefighting is one of the most complex areas challenging the fire service to date. In a hospital setting with nonambulatory patients and family members wanting to stay with and help their loved ones, this situation becomes more complex and demanding on hospital staff and responding fire companies. Joint training scenarios with first-responding staff and responding fire companies provides many opportunities. Some of those opportunities include reinforcing known policies and procedures, discovering unknown deficiencies, providing an opportunity to test the entire system together, and developing better working relationships.
