Andrew Brassard said… - Hey Brother,
Thanks for the post!
I have not meet Tray but he seems like a dynamic brother for sure, I think you should talk him into getting into the training community..... he has the knowledge to share.
His video is by far the best step by step video I have seen, if you see brother Nelms please pass along my complements to him.
Keep up the great work brother and stay safe,
Andrew

Vent Enter and Search , or as it’s commonly referred to, VES, has been an accepted term for the fire service for the last 8-10 years or so, depending on who you talk to. It’s a common strategy that has been successfully used throughout this country to save lives. I would like to offer some insight as to what this is and when and how it can be applied.
