I am a Captain on a rescue company and our staffing varies from 3 to 4 personnel. We, by policy, assume or support truck company operations depending on when we arrive on scene. In the event we have 4 personnel and arrive first or second due we split into a 2 man inside team and a 2 man outside team this is common practice in my area and not…

Seat and Tool Assignments/Fire Ground Efficiency

I have been looking at ways to increase fire ground efficiency. I want to get some info on the different ways fire companies deploy resources on a structure fire.

The Following questions are based on a first alarm assignment. I want to isolate those initially assigned companies because they have the greatest impact on overall incident outcome. I am looking for honest real world answers not ideal situation answers.

You can do a conventional 5 day a week weight lifting program plus cardio for weight loss, Do P90X, or a Punch kettle bell work out routine! I think the Punch Kettle Bell program is best because it allows you to build lean body mass, push your cardiac threshold and increase flexibility in a 30 minute high intensity routine 2 to 3 times a week with moderate recovery exercise on the off days. Of course what ever you choose for your workout program diet is extremely important I would suggest seeing a nutritionist! Forward me your email address and I can send you some more information!
