Several fire departments are starting to use video conferencing to conduct various training. This group will discuss in depth the various pro's and con's of video conferencing.
This group will promote discussion and debate about the many functions, personalities, tactics, training and policies of the FDNY. Whether you are a member of the FDNY or another company or department, you should find some of these issues interesting
This group will aim to share various "advanced" vehicle extrication techniques that are not normally taught in "junkyard" classes. Including tactics for cars, pick-ups, SUVs, trucks and buses.
Training Officers and Instructors group dedicated to professional development of TO's and Instructors.
Fires & runs with a "Close Call" where we coulda, shoulda, woulda-or, it was simply not avoidable. Short and sweet: what happened, what we learned, would do different...or...sometimes this sh!t just happens. A place to pass it on for others to learn.
