How many fires?

Added a post Aug 4

I've been to 2 fires in the 10 months I've been with my paid department. Both of them could have been "can jobs". We don't respond to very many and we certainly "DO NOT DO ENOUGH TRAINING". Read More »

Still trying to figure out my role and develop into a good young firefighter. But I hope things go well for you and your department and like I said before keep doing the little things for your ff's it's helping them if they know it or not.

Stay Safe brother

At 7:14pm on October 5th, 2008, Jordan Smith said…: Hey Larry thanks for the comment. I am lucky enough to be on a department that fire chief cant get enough of training. I firmly believe that it starts at the head and works it way down. If chief and officers have the training mind set it will make its way down even to the rookies. I am a rookie too. I have been at my paid department for about a month and already can see the importance of training. Keep putting out the print outs around the station chances are someone is going to pick them up. I do disagree with always doing things the same way. There are always new ideas on how things should be done, not saying the traditional way isn't good but when it comes to training and firefighter safety we can never stop looking for new ways and new answers. Thanks again for all the feed back. Stay safe brother and keep training. Be a leader.

I would like to invite you to visit the HazMat Group called HazMat News & Training. Feel free to share your thoughts. Todd C. McKee

At 6:08am on May 10th, 2008, Sunshine Lemme said…: I hope you don’t mind me busting into your group, as I’m not yet a NC firefighter. I hope to become one soon, however, when I can get my house in Swan Quarter finished and can afford to move down there without a job.
I’m very into training, being an instructor, FF2 and working on Fire Officer I. I’m also an EMT, currently basic but I expect to regain my Critical Care next year after a refresher, a HazMat Tech, also in need of a refresher, and I’m pursuing more Tech Rescue Courses, currently only have Confined Space. That’s my volunteer stuff, I work as an Emergency Manager, so NIMS and ICS are part of my DNA, I helped put NIMS together, along with a couple of thousand EMs.
My biggest concern with moving to NC is getting my qualifications transferred, the State Fire Marshal’s website says that NC is pretty restrictive, even when our county’s fire academy is recognized as one of the best by Fire & Rescue. The National Certifications should help.

To foster an atmosphere of professionalism, we're asing everyone to use their full names when posting. The intent is not to exclude anyone, but protect everyone from unwanted and inappropriate postings.
