The public expects excellence from firefighters, regardless of the level of staffing. Firefighters must be trained and prepared to win on the fireground even with limited staffing. The Winning on the Fireground: Limited Staffing course is designed to focus on task level skills that are routinely expected to be accomplished with staff as limited as a single member. The class structure allows students to rotate through 12 skill stations that will challenge them and provide them with techniques to ensure success when lives are on the line and no help is coming. The skills covered in the class include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), stretching attack lines, conducting searches, using ground ladders, moving and removing victims, forcible entry, engineer considerations, and even combative command for the company officer. The class is suitable for all members of the fire service, including those who run with better than average manpower.
On the last afternoon of the class, students will be challenged with reality-based scenarios that simulate actual fireground situations, where people are trapped and limited help is available. This will allow participants to put their newly acquired skills to the test in a controlled environment, giving them valuable experience that they can draw upon when responding to real-life incidents.
All participants will gain confidence throughout the training and will be equipped with the necessary skills to operate at their best, even in the most challenging situations.
