Prince William Fire & Rescue Department is trying out a new firefighting technique popular in Britain and other parts of Europe to improve firefighter safety.
Assistant Fire Chief Warren Whitley has traveled across the Atlantic Ocean about eight times to learn more about the tactic, known as air track management, which isolates the flow of oxygen to fires to prevent them from spreading. The technique has been used in Europe for more than 10 years, including in countries such as England, Sweden, Germany and Croatia.
