Comment by Mathew Conger on August 31, 2010 at 4:05pm - Ty Davison I have the same problem that I wanna make myself and the dept better but no one in the dept wants to be better it seems like they have the attitude of been there done that and dont need to train for it. Well in my opinion there wrong I have been doing fire for about 6 years ems for 5 years you are never going to have enough training and it is always a learning experiance. If you find out how to push your guys and get them going tell me how you have done it because im still trying.

Comment by Paula MacDonald on August 29, 2010 at 8:26pm - I have been training officer for over two years and our members enjoy coming when we have fun events. Auto extrication is the favorite and we get enough vehicles so everyone can play with a tool. We also have fun competitions doing hose rolls, advancing lines and scenarios. As long as you keep it interesting people will come. Classroom is great for maybe the first half hour to go over how things should be done and everyone has a good working knowledge of what they are doing, but when weather is permitting we have our members out practicing what we will be doing.

Comment by Ty M. Davison on August 27, 2010 at 3:48am - I have been the training officer for our volunteer dept for 3 years. I keep getting told that I am doing a great job by our 4 leading officers. BUT, I am having between 25-40% participation out of our members on training night (only 2-3 hours, once a month). My training has been relating to fireground operations and car accidents for the most part, but to try and draw in more members I have tried to make training more fun by adding some compition. I was approached by our chief and told to cool it with the training that I have been providing and go more towards a classroom setting and provide food to bring more members in. I highly disagree with the chief!!! But, is he seeing something that I am not? Does anybody belive that sitting around in a classroom setting talking about how we "should" do things going to give me the feeling that anybody else on the dept is reliable enought to warn me before I get my butt in trouble in a structure fire or to pull my ass out if it all goes South? We are supposed to all be "Brothers" in the fire service but I feel that because of my love for the fire service, and desire to make myself and everyone I work with, better is doing nothing but driving a wedge between everybody. I need help!! Any suggestions????

I've said in the past and can not rave about anything than this program for Training Officers.http://www.firesimulator.com/sneak_peak.htm this program is free and it's worth it's weight in gold. In the past we will take a training tour to all or any of our areas of concerns. If it's a gas station, hotel, apt. building as we we are doing out tour one of us will start taking pictures. From the time we are about to arrive to pictures of a 360 of the building. This program Simulator 6 allows you to import these pictures and add smoke flames and place as a story board so you can see from the inside of the fire truck to the point of arriving. Allowing everyone to do there size up and incident command training. As well you know what you want to do if you actually get a call at this location. The cost is having just a digital camera and either a lap top or computer. If you lucky to have a projector to show the class that's great. But even if a few of you sit around the laptop or desktop. It's a program that will save you lots of time and energy when trying to cover off important topics like Size-Up, Incident Command, Truck Placements, Crew Placements and any safety issues one may have at any location in your area that you may have. Take the time and download the program and trust me you will enjoy this program for a great training aid.

Comment by Rick Powell on July 9, 2010 at 3:47pm - I have two questions: 1) Does anyone know who fabricates some good "hands on" training props for HazMat Technician training? and 2) Does anyone know if HazMat courses are certified under IFSAC and ProBoard, or just personnel?

- Tyler (and all other new training officers)- start with the basics and build from there. The basics include Forcible Entry, Search and Rescue, Hoseline Operations, Ventilation, Water Supply and Self-Rescue. Make some simple props that can be used for different training sessions. Go to your state fire instructors group or association for ideas. Go to departments that are in your mutual aid group for ideas and suggestions. 12 Great New Ways to Train.docx

Comment by Tyler Paxson on May 10, 2010 at 9:53am - I have recently been voted into the training officer position of our small volunteer Fire Department. I would like to welcome help from anyone, Ideas, videos, plans, just anything to help me build a strong system with in my department. We haven't had any programs like this in the past and are a very small non profit department. Yet, just because of our size the point i want to get accross is that training and saftey is just as inportant as the NY Fire Department ( in a way anyhow) So any basic training help i can get will be greatly apperciated. Please e-mail me with whatever you have to help me. THANKS AND BE SAFE!
