Thanks for your replies. I really appreciate them.
Yes, I have this book and believe that it can very helpful to the small dept. I used it quite often when I would lead my company in company training activities. It covers a large topic base and gives you a idea of how long it takes to prepare and ...
Our department has 22 active members. We have two engines, one water tender, and an equipment van. We run between 20 & 30 calls per year. Mostly fire, some Jaws. Our territory covers 21 square miles and aprox. 6.5 miles of interstate.
I can't post a link, but if you go to Amazon.com and search Volunteer Training Officer's Handbook you should find it. The author is Eddie Buchanan.
I don't know the book you are referring to...got a link?

Has anyone read or used this book. I was wondering if the content is applicable to a small volunteer department. Any comments or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
WE USED THE BUILDING THAT IS NEXT TO THE STATION TO CONDUCT DOWNED FIRE FIGHTER RESCUE TRAINING UTILIZING LADDERS AND ROPE. THE SITUATION WAS THAT THE FLOOR COLLAPSED UNDER A FIRE FIGHTER AND HE FELL TO THE BASEMENT. THE PROBLEM WAS FOR EACH TEAM ...
Here's a team drill I developed for our crew, it's simple, requires little set-up and can be done at the station.
you'll need two extension ladders, one to stay on the truck and one on the ground. set up two ground stations, such as a couple of le...
What is the objective you are trying to accomplish, or is it just a drill for the sake of practicing ladders? How long do you want the drill to last?
Our department recently did a two-hour drill where the firefighters laddered the roof of a three...
I am trying to put together a drill for my department with ladders. Does anyone have any good drills that their department has done?
Just finished up cleaning and painting the pipes for the ZRT. They look great. It was time well spent.
Our department has 21 members. We have six oficers: 1 Chief, 2 Asst. Chiefs, and 3 Captains.
We have one truck with pump and roll capability. We have used it on grass fires and once when a combine malfunction started the field on fire.
In our department the Chief, Asst. Chiefs, and Captains carry portables. We have other portable radios in our equipment truck which are handed out at fire scenes to crews operating without direct officer supervision.

Agreed - working in an area with many teaching hospitals we often get well meaning medical folks eager to help or to try their new skills on the street. We inform them if they want to take charge of the scene they must accompany the patient...
Yup
Lying about climate research, intentionally distorting research results, takeovers of peer-review journals to prevent any research publication that doesn't support the Algorean climate changers position, changing conventions to avoid the impact of...
Andrew, Where I am we can drive either POV or ride apparatus to the scene. We are in a very rural community. The biggest problem we run into is people stopping in the middle of the road as if they are so dumbfounded they lost all sense of how to d...
