How often do you Ops? Can you share the drill with me so I can pass it on to others?
Thanks for the reply borther!
I wrote an article for FE check it out and let me know if you would try anything that I wrote about in your FH
GREAT! Do me a favor please print it off and post it at your station (s). This not because I wrote but becasue I want guys to think which may make them pick up the ERG more than once a year. Thank you BROTHER
Great Job! BROTHER! I am liked what I hear, I want all guys to do what you do..... KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME I wrote an article on FE.COM about ERG usage... take a look at it tell me what you think
The title is removing the dust from the ERG or something like that..........
Every couple of months i take the menbers out for a drive and have them look up any placards they see and tell me what they found out about the placard it is a simple training session but could save a life in knowing how to identy the chemical and plan for it.
great idea!
Brent,
Great idea keeping an ERG available while travelling!

Would also be good to have one in a POV if your with a rural vol. dept. You might happen upon, or be first on-scene at, a truck or farm chemical wreck/Haz incident and be able to give some advance notice.

Our dept. now has some extra ERG's for personel use, thanks to an excellent class instructed by a certain Todd McKee character. Thanks, Brother!!
Paul: Thank you for such great comments and it is an honor to have such kind words! Todd
My Department practices at least annually during our Haz Mat Tech Refresher. I also get to teach from it during my Firefighter I courses and Haz Mat First responder Ops classes.
We do not. I beleive every apparatus is supposed to have one on it. I actually have my own I "liberated" from a spare chiefs car. As far as us having one, thats on the officers side.
