Will Someone Please Help Me Understand
Will someone please help me understand! In the next two days, two highly respected Texas firefighters will be laid to rest. One a seasoned veteran and one an up and coming leader. These two men did not start the day with a reckless sense of duty. They were being pro active and training, doing something that they probably did before, only this time something went wrong. Was it the equipment? Was it human error? Was it lack of supervision? Was it experience? Only time will tell. My intention is… Continue

Kathy Webb said… - Chief, I had an awesome time in class.. IT was a very motivating, energetic and Intense learning experience.. The call we went out on was a mutual aid and we had to really be in the game for assignments, and listening to IC. The class could not have come at a better time. The knowledge that was given was a blessing that I will take with me wherever I may go.. Thanks again Scott..

- Chief Thompson, I really enjoyed your Podcast about making training personal. I had a question about getting rookie fire fighters to do LODD Reports. I wanted to know if you just have them study the report and lead a disscussion, or if you have them use a standard approach to analyzing a NIOSH report. I have several fire fighters that I would like to get doing this, but they have limited instuctional experience and I want to give them some tools to succeed with the assignment. Thanks.

Have a Merry Christmas!

If you wouldn't mind, take a few minutes to check out www.honortheirsacrifices.com...and then contact me. I work on the "other side of the lake" from you and would love to see if you have any suggestions on how we might be able to work together.
Thanks,
