Over-loaded Officers

This is a group that is avaiable for Officers to gripe, fuss, and complain. Too often Officers have no place to take their frustrations to and just vent. There is no judgement passed here, only understanding and encouragement.

Firefighter Skills Competency Workbook

I have had several people contact me about the status of the Firefighter Skills Competency Workbook project. I have completed the project. I have to review the proof copy, and then it will be available. I think it will be around the first part of October. You can see more about it by going to www.createspaceamcom/3690367

Hi Scott,

Thanks so much for all your SOG's.  I'm also going to look at your website to see if we can use your new training material.  You've helped us to a great start in getting more organized !

We would love any SOP's you'd care to share.   We just had our first fire on the island about a month ago and I think we did pretty well, but we need to get more organized.  I have arranged for a trainer to come to the island next summer to do the S100 training, not sure what its called in the states.  Thanks for any help you can give us

Hi Scott,

I'm new to this site, but I read your comments on the SOP's. Would you be willing to send any info you have to us? We are a small island in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. We have a 1400 gal pumper truck, but we are just getting started. We are first response until the Forestry service shows up, if they do. Thanks in advance

Scott..

I want to thank you for the kind words in your invitation. I just try to share what I have learned over the past 45 years. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is just experience. Take care and stay safe,

Scott,

The skill sheets are working out great. We have done some of them already. If you are willing to send out the new D.O. ones that would be great.

Stay Safe, Brother,

Joe

Hey Scott, read your response to the SOP blog and was wondering if you could send me the info as well. My dept is under new leadership and in desperate need of SOP's, the new Chief is wanting to start the process and has asked me to help, now I am seeking the help of others. Will you be at FDIC? If so, we could meet there to talk more about this, if not, could you send info to indiana_firechick@yahoo.com or you can reach me by phone at 260-703-0021 Thanks!
