Overview
The 50 Rules for the Senior Firefighter
‘Senior Firefighter’ may not be a ranked position in most departments, but it is an integral role in every firehouse. Whether the responsibility has been placed upon you or you are hoping to step up and meet the approaching challenge, the guidance provided here will be invaluable to you and those you mentor. This isn’t about years of service, ego, or perks, it’s about expectations, responsibility, and opportunity.
The 25 Rules for the Fire Service Instructor
If you’re currently in an instructor role, considering getting involved, or you’re on the student side and just want perspective on what you should expect from your instructors, this will offer a lot of value. You can’t teach people if you can’t reach them, and this discussion will dive deep into the intangibles that allow us to connect in a meaningful way with students and remove barriers to learning that result in actions on emergency scenes.
The Connected Warrior
The fire service is more than a job, it’s a personal growth opportunity. This offering will open up perspectives that will hopefully lead to understanding that the most effective people in life operate around the balance point between hard and vulnerable, grit and compassion. Self-awareness and effort make us better human beings which makes us better first responders and vice versa.
Ladders and More
Mixed in with the in-class sessions will be hands-on 24’ ladder deployment skills and a bonus hands on, on air skill station.
