Thanks Mike. Be safe and leave the front of the building open so the guys on the Engine don't have to stretch an extra 50 feet of hose. Just kidding.

Mike, I am starting to put together a basic EVO class for a local EMS Provider in part of my District. Was told class can't be more than 4 hours long. Got any ideas of what to cover in that limited amount of time?

Howdy from Texas. Haven't got a chance to tell you thx for coming to the Fire Engineering Fort Worth. I really enjoyed your class on truck ops. Oh, almost forgot Homer Robertson told me to tell you hello. Be safe and remember a Truckman is only as good as the Engine Company they are chasing.. Take care from a Water Weasel..

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.
