Operations Training
I have been asked to teach the annual operations refresher for the entire fire department, including fire police and EMS. Last year I found a video intro to the ERG, that went OK, it was a little long. I want to emphasize stay safe (approach from uphill and upwind, ID the chemical, etc.) and call the HazMat team ASAP. Does anyone know where I can find a visual program, such as PowerPoint, video, or slides, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. TIA

Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls. It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
