Basic firefighter strategies and tactics needed to mitigate a residential structure fire have changed with the installation of thousands of solar panel and battery storage systems in homes across the United States. As such, firefighters need updated training that addresses the presence of this technology. 

Course Objectives: Fire service training on electrical utility control and extinguishment has evolved little in the past 100 years.
