Be who you want coming for your kids, and be honest about it.

Be who you want coming for your kids, and be honest about it.

Why am I sharing a photo of my son?

Because as a father of five, my children are my purpose, my fuel, and the reason I chase self improvement. Their faces are in my mind during countless scenarios that play on repeat, imagine it with me. Tones drop 2 a.m., hearing the words children trapped, rolling up to heavy fire, and knowing it’s time to go to work.

In those imagined moments, I ask myself: Would my training be enough to save my children?
Would I be ready if it were them, unprotected, coughing in the smoke, clutching their stuffed animals, hiding under a blanket from danger they don’t understand?
Or would I fail them, unprepared, unfamiliar with my gear, my equipment, my tactics?

And then I step back and ask you the same question:

Are you prepared to save my children?
Will you stand frozen, calling a structure “fully involved” and “unsurvivable,” not realizing the capability of the water you brought with you… or will you push forward with skill, confidence, and purpose?

This photo isn’t about my son. It’s about yours, and every child depending on us to be ready.

Train like the life inside that structure is the one you love most. One day, it might be.

Level One Staging

2nd due Engine Co. defaulting to stage on a working residential fire, is an issue that needs to be addressed.

How many working residential fires actually don’t need a second-due engine?

If it's too complicated of a fire for the first due Company Officer to be able to make a decision for the first 3 to 4 units, then what type of Incident Command training are they getting? 2 second default for IC training: Fire Attack, Search, Vent, 2nd Due Engine Booster Tank Back-Up and double the water on scene and have a FF on scene instead of at the hydrant.

How many minutes — and seconds — of delay happen because an entire crew is sitting in Level One staging instead of going to work?

57% of Maydays come from the first-due unit. Yet the second-due engine on a working residential fire defaults to stage.

This is the cookie-cutter teaching from Blue Card. Their answer for delaying thousands of second-due companies across the country?

“We just give them the default — they need to change it for their department.”

Then why teach a default that doesn’t serve civilians, firefighters, or operations?

Departments are paying tens of thousands for certification and recertification. Why not invest that time and money into building a system that works for them?

The data doesn’t lie: most firefighter deaths aren’t from interior searches, and civilians survive in conditions VSP might dismiss
