We are pleased to announce our first open-enrollment engine and ladder company operations hands-on class in the Chicago suburbs. This is a ONE day class.
Morning rotations will consist of primarily ladder company-based functions. The rotations are: Vent, Enter & Search, Conventional Forcible Entry, and Flat-Roof Operations.
VES: All members will conduct a realistic VES search under simulated fire conditions in a zero-visibility environment.
Conventional FE: All members will force inward and outward opening doors of varying levels of difficulty
Flat-Roof Operations: All members will use a power saw to cut a hole in a roof to simulate vertical ventilation.
Afternoon rotations will consist of Engine-based rotations. The rotations are:
Stretching the Initial Attack Line: Members will be shown several variations of attack beds and will stretch attack lines to varying locations in the building.
Advancing the Initial Attack Line: For a given scenario, members will advance an 1 3/4" attack line under simulated fire conditions to the seat of the fire
Aggressive 2 1/2" Attack Line Operations: Members will be shown how to utilize two or three firefighters to efficiently advance a 2 1/2" line through multiple rooms WHILE FLOWING WATER. This rotation will defuse the well-known "We can't do that here!" theory.
If you have any questions, feel free to call or email at the information provided below. Registration is open now!

Here is an online photo gallery to a very similar class we conducted in Oakville, Ontario last year. Most of the rotations will be the same.
