This two-day course is designed to strengthen the fundamentals of the first-arriving Engine and Truck company. One day one, students in both tracks will cover skill stations using a crawl-walk-run methodology. On day two, students will come together for integrated live-fire scenarios. By the end of the course, students will be better prepared to perform as effective first-due firefighters through technical proficiency, teamwork, and fireground coordination.

ENGINE TRACK: Masking up with gloves on, hose grips, hose advancements, flow & move, corner management, water mapping, air entrainment, coupling drop, and stretching techniques.

TRUCK TRACK: Masking up with gloves on, dirty drags, conventional and non-conventional forcible entry, search techniques, vent-enter-search, and ladder operations.

Integrated Live-Fire Scenarios: Students will merge from both tracks for realistic company operations under live-fire conditions, applying skills learned from day one in coordinated, high-stake scenarios. Students will integrate hose deployment, fire attack, forcible entry, search, and coordinated engine and truck company operations.

This two-day course is a primary search-driven class that will encompass all facets of truck work prior to and after making a search/grab. While primary search can produce many victims on a single search, having sharp and sound technique is a must - from pulling on scene, sizing up your building, finding or creating the best access, performing the search, then victim removal - just to name a few. This class will be fast-paced with skills worked into scenario-type formats. We believe in a need to be the best because at the end of the day, no one else is coming - it's up to us!
