Trust the science 🧪

Members working with to conduct research on hose and nozzle packages and their effects at height. This information is being used to aid in the development of an AAR for a recent local fire that resulted in a member being burned.

The work these guys do is quite fascinating and has a tremendous impact on the job that we do!

“Position don’t park”

Are you a truck driver or do you just drive the truck? Don’t let some landscape stand between you and a position to function!

Down and Dirty

What has zero meaning to the majority of those reading it, was extremely helpful in the early stages of a tough fire last week in 11’s area.

Initial crews drew a rudimentary diagram of the interior layout on the side of a ladder truck positioned adjacent to one of the points of entry. This helped guide crews into the seat of the fire through a complicated floor plan in zero visibility conditions until a tag line could be established.

It’s not dumb if it works.
