Instructorship

Often times I've been told that guys will flip a switch or step up to the occasion on an incident scene.

The Milan Township Fire Department responded to an 11 vehicle pile-up on the Ohio Turnpike (westbound around the 116 mile marker, near the Sandusky/Norwarlk exit).

Getting the Griphoist back in the box is a bigger challenge than operating it. It's kind of like a jack-in-the-box.

Here are some car fire incidents to talk about with your crew. Talk about your PPE, size-up, approach, and water supply.

Get outside in the wind, cold, and dark with your crew to throw, dance with, and climb ladders. Turning out when the tone drops isn't just putting on a costume.

They used handlines under the water and on top of the water to simulate current. This is an awesome and innovative way to get crews some realistc training.

There are lots of sound fences along highways. Maybe not so many folks that would do what this guy does in the video...

This is another innovative training from Lt. Grant Light and his crew on Cincinnati Fire Department Rescue 9. It's another cheap drill to put together in the house.

Grant Light from Cincinnati Heavy Rescue 9 sent these pics over in a rescue email group. Great shots of him and his crew doing some torch training.

Check this short video out and share with your up and coming extrication tool handlers.
