Hello Chris. I was in your class at the Les Lukert Conference in Grand Island. You did an excellent job!! We took a lot of great information from it and hopefully we can pass it on to the rest of our department. Keep up the Good Work!!

Mr. Naum, How have been doing? Busy I can understand, haven't seen you post a tactics and strategy problem in a while, are you planning one in the near future? I hope so, I really like the challenging scenarios you put together. thanks for for the training!
Fraternally,

It is great to hear from you! I've been following all the work you have been putting into your buildsonfire on facebook...when is the website going to be up? By the way...thanks for all that you are doing!

Chris- Good to be here. You have quite the fan club going. Are you still at the plant?

Am in the DROP and have about 4 to go. I have started to do more teaching here. Will have to get together to see if we can do anything jointly. Good luck with the new venture.

Say hi to the wife and girls.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the information you provide. Your strategy & tactics posts are always a treat and make us think. Keep up the good work!

I've mused over your info and I wanted to say 'thank you' for what is a treasure trove of information, valuable to me both as a firefighter and a code enforcement officer. Keep up the good work!

Hey Chris thanks for the add! When will your website be launching? I am looking forward to its launch. You and I same a lot of the same interests.

Chris,
I just wanted to touch base with you and make sure that it is OK to use your material to conduct a weekly training class for my crew.They are required to come up with tactics/stratergy of the situation .These guys are young and you have excellemt material. It really gets them thinking and we have had some debates .

Thanks

Just wanted to commend you on what I consider the best practical, informative, and educational contributions to this site. Instead of the usual garbage of what engine is better or who uses what, you have actually provoked thought and encourage tactical and strategic discussions. I have recently begun taking a stab at your well preparred scenario problems. I am studying for an up-coming promotional test for Deputy Fire Chief, which is through an oral assesment-type of exam. This will be my second time around, as I placed 1st. a few years ago, but politics intervened and...you know the rest. Anyways this helping me. I prefer to approach the problems in a general format, instead of being departmental specific as with particular apparatus, companies etc. Everyone reponds differently, but the engine and truck requirements basically don't change.
Again, I think you are really providing an excellent service to the officers and firefighters who are interested in sharpening their size-up skills...as everyone should! This is the best stuff here amongst endless boring filler. Thanks again, and keep 'em coming!

"We'll get you "thinking" like a US Firefighter yet"? You gave me a laugh there mate, thank you!

I read, I learn, I try to understand. FF's in the US could often be horrified at our methods, just as we can be horrified by your methods! It's the way of the world, isn't it? As long as we all put the fires out, and try to have firefighter safety at the top of our lists, then all is good!

Thanks for the invite Chris. I enjoy your posts - even if there are too many differences, I still learn.

Thanks for the add, I have read most of the scenarios posted. Obviously, we live in a very far different world (I believe you've already checked my profile). And not to mentioned at the other side of the pond. But one thing applicable that I've learned is the fundamental principles of risk profile, tactics and the structural integrity we enter. Most buildings here complies with international standards but sad to say I think our fire service are slow to catching up and worst our IC system is still at infancy or to non-existent in most areas. Surprisingly our LODD is very low but still as a good firefighter. We don't want our guard down, always expect to the unknown. That's why, I / we want to learn more.

So Chris, I'm happy to be part of your link and would love to learn more. TCSS, Mike Pasig City, Philippines
