Training Ideas

Looking for training ideas for a combination volunteer/full time dept. theres 5 full time guys on shift and normally around 10 or so volleys that show up. looking for good training ideas that are hands on and fairly easy to setup/execute with limited facilitys as far as something like a training tower and such.

A great way to motivate your crew will be to have a ppe race every training you have. It sounds corny but its a good way for them to familiarize them selves with their ppe.

You can do a door opening towards you, or away from you with this mock up. I know it is not as elaborate as the comercial ones but it does work, and does teach firefighters proper tool placement and how to pop a door.

I like making certain drills friendly competition, Whether it is donning/doffing drills, scenario based drills like I mentioned previously, or whatever, it spices it up a little bit to have that competition.
