Seconds FLAT
This is a H.O.T (hands on training) where our instructors showcase the extreme ease and versatility of flat load hose deployment.
If your department is currently using the flat load or you are interested in exploring the option and simplicity of this versatile load, this class is for you. The H&H cadre will systematically break down the flat load and its deployment options in a way that is not only user friendly but undeniable in its practical application potential.
Attendees will start their day with a mission and goal focused lecture and then transition to the training grounds where they will receive as many hose pulls as time permits accompanied by cadre demonstration and coaching.
The 5 Rights of the First Line
This is a 90-minute lecture/presentation based on a recently published article written by our cadre.
When the air break hits, we, as first due firefighters, have decisions to make, and we need to make them NOW! Are you making the right decision when it comes to hand-line selection and deployment?
5 Rights of the First Line is a class that helps break down that selection process for first due firefighters. This class will help solidify the current framework of this decision making process for even the most experienced firefighter. Stop wasting time, make a call faster by decreasing your cognitive load through systematic steps that are straightforward, and applicable at any fire.
