Ahh the summer time. I am getting my swing ready. My two main fears in this world are that I will run into a Carnies or Mayo. Or a Carny covered in mayo

This group will focus on aggressive interior firefighting. We will address tactics that increase your chance of not getting jammed up and cover what actions to undertake if you do.We will cover some big issues as well as small tactical tips. We feel you could add a lot to this group. I see your concerned with staffing take a look at that group too.
