CERT session 2 is primarily about which topic?

The focus of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) session 2 is primarily on fire suppression. This session equips participants with knowledge and skills related to various fire hazards, the basics of fire behavior, and the techniques for extinguishing small fires safely and effectively. Understanding how to control and extinguish fires is crucial for community safety, particularly during emergencies where professional firefighting resources may be delayed.

In the context of the other topics listed, medical operations are typically covered in other sessions that deal with first aid and assessing medical emergencies, light search and rescue operations focus on techniques for locating and assisting victims, and disaster preparedness encompasses planning and preparation for potential emergencies, which are critical elements of the overall CERT training but are not the primary focus of session 2. Fire suppression training is vital for ensuring that certified volunteers can respond adeptly to fire incidents, enhancing their readiness to impact their communities constructively during crises.
