1st Alarm Company Ops
8-30 Hours
Short-staffed, combination and volunteer departments expect their members to do multiple functions on the fire ground. This program combines "The Big Four": stretching the first attack line, forcible entry, quick mask, and primary search. These are the most critical task the 1st arriving companies need to perform flawlessly. This course will help the attendee develop the skills needed to accomplish these tasks. The High-Level scenario will bring all the functions practiced together in a fast-paced, realistic storyline. The instructors will manipulate the environment with emotional components to challenge the firefighter's tempo. The progressive reality-based training style will instill confidence in operating as a 1st and 2nd in company with the staffing levels of that department.
