Traditions Training is headed back to Erskine Lakes, NJ to deliver our 8-hour “Waving Red Flags on the Fireground. This interactive session looks at past incidents and experiences where there were visual and audible clues that there may have been something wrong on the incident scene. By using these past experiences we hope to teach our students to recognize the many clues that are on the fireground, so as a company officer or chief officer they are able to identify them. And by identifying them help stop a course of action on the scene that could lead to an injury...

We then provide plans for both officers to develop good habits and practices for their own department incidents. This interactive and engaging program will hopefully make you...

You vent the skylight and take a peak only to find a mother and her 1 year old gasping for air out of a smoke charged second floor window in a blind shaft. What do you do now? What do you tell command or the victim? How do your responsibilities change, if at all? Welcome to the show, "let's make it happin"! So even on Easter...

On the truck today I have a guy who's newer on the job and regularly assigned to an engine. After about an hour of drilling on portable ladders and forcible entry he said to me "Sarge, I just don't wanna let anyone down..." Probably one of the best things I've ever heard a fireman say.
