Fire Engineering (hope it isn't sacrilege to say that on this website) has a great book on Volunteer Training Drills. You can purchase it from their Penwell Books Store. The Maryland Fire Training Institute has a drill of the month (they might be the same ones used on the Firehouse website) posted on MFRI.org.
Hey something me and capjack can agree on. I understand the concept of having the men wear ppe while doing "every day" things to get comfortable, and some times the newer members wear full ppe to wash trucks , clean etc. But with the limited amount of training time , I think training should be as realistic as possible.
Some of these drills sound like what you have been doing and some also seem like they wouldn't work to well in the cold, but they are at least some ideas and a place to start. Page not found – Firefighter Close Calls | Firefighter Close Calls is the home of the Secret List.
Hey, just wanted share six NFPA 1410 Engine Company Drills that I created for my blog. All the drills have been made into PDF files so that you can easily download, print out, and use for your next training night. The most recent post is Engine Company Drills in Review which gives an overview of all the training scenarios. The individual ...
One of the drills the Georgia muster teams have/had available used three 30 gallon trash cans (filled with water) and a quarter keg. Two trash cans were set up as the start/finish line, the third some distance out. The goal was to push the keg (sitting on it's bottom) out, around the third trash can, and back using a hose line.
By having these drills done as a team, especially blindfolded the members must communicate with eachother and function as a team. This also spotlights the weakest link principle and helping each other. IMHO this basic mask confidence along with other firefighter rescue drills should be a mandatory part of any SCBA training program.
Well we as Explorers in our post hold our own drills. We come up with the drill and the reason we want this drill and present it to our Advisors. We drill on SCBA,Laying Lines,Ladder Training, AIR Tank Changing, and other forms of necessary drilling.-----Thomas Parsons Protection Eng #6 "IN THIS LINE OF WORK FEAR IS NO CHOICE!"
Levels of Training Explorer training is broke up into two different categories, Class I, and Class II. Class I is defined as a basic trained Explorer. Explorers with this training are able to help with duties around the fire station, base radio operation, prevention, inspection, or any other activity that would not include on scene duties.
I'm also looking to do some initial attack, NFPA 1710 drills and things like that along the way. The nice thing is that part of these properties are an old college campus. Though it's a small campus, we do have a way to do large-area search drills, dorms, etc. A LOT of potential. Thanks both for the ideas.
Please suggest improvements or provide other ideas on better drills that we could do. Extra thanks if you can show me a youtube or interwebs link demonstrating the execution of the drill. We seem to do lots of practice on setting up dump tanks, checking flow rates, playing with different nozzles, etc.
