This website was started simply to promote three topics: Safety, Leadership
and Training. They are all very broad and encompass a large amount of
material. As a Training Officer or for any Chief/Company Officer our job is to
promote all three. This site is dedicated to all of those that came before and
laid the frame work for people such as myself to succeed.
This, I hope will be a gathering place for people across the nation and the
world where quality training, effective materials and true life successes are
shared and found. We will talk about near-misses and close calls, Line Of
Duty Deaths and most importantly when we get it right. We learn from all of
these situations. Every time a Responder steps off the truck, thoughts
should be racing through their mind (Situational Awareness, Hazards,
Strategies and Tactics, Command Presence, Size-Up, etc...), no matter if they
are the driver, officer, or the rookie. The reactions to those thoughts are
based on the training received.
Fire Service Safety, Leadership and Training is open to all ranks,
designations, and positions. You don't even have to be in the fire service, or
public safety to comment, respond or post ideas. The Fire Service is a
BUSINESS, no matter how we look at it. Sometimes the best approach is
from an outside approach. So, for anyone (Business, Management,
Leadership, Finance, etc.) from outside the Fire Service this site is open to
you as well!
I hope all is good for everyone and everyone can take something away from
this site that is beneficial to them, the department, and the service. Please
offer your comments, concerns, suggestions and ideas. And most
importantly STAY SAFE!
Site established 2008.
