Mats Rosander & Krister Giselsson - The pioneers of the European Model of Interior Offensive Firefighting

 

Swedish firefighters Mats Rosander and Krister Giselsson were the first to apply the American theories of Fire Gas Cooling and Fire Behaviour in a way that it became accepted and adapted by large numbers of fire services. This film centers around Mats Rosander´s reunion with a number of international instructors who had fought to introduce his ideas in their own countries. 

 

After many years of working outside of the fire service, and having recently lost his long term friend and firefighting partner Krister Giselsson, the reunion became a both enlightening and emotional event for Mats Rosander.
