Heat conduction is important to firefighters because it helps them understand how heat spreads through materials, which allows them to anticipate where a fire may spread and take appropriate actions to control it.

Understanding heat conduction also helps firefighters determine the best approach to extinguishing a fire and protecting themselves from heat exposure.
