Wants and Needs: Fire Service Training--The Hot List

As a training coordinator, I try to remain responsive to our membership's needs in terms of what type of training seminars they want or need.

I'd like to know....what training classes would you consider a "must attend"....what are the hot topics that aren't being covered in your area (Let's look past FF1, FF2 and Evoc) --is online training the new answer?
Is there a topic that's been "done to death"?

Joe and Tiger,

Does NY have a NFFF assigned advocate? I teach almost all of them in NH.
Go to the NFFF website and click on the State Advocates.

Actually, we have 4.

We're coordinating our efforts with them.

Tad-
That's a lot like what we do here at my F.D. Each month we've got a company drill, a multi company drill, an individual study topic w/ quiz, EMT-B topic and Paramedic topic. It's helped out greatly in my opinion. Stay safe!

I have been struggling with similar issues training crews at my department. As a result I developed a training website that allows self-pced training, group training, or individaul sessions. I have created complete Incident Command Simulators, ZVirtual Pump Panel, and LODD 360 reviews. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks.
