Hello, I am new to this group. I am a Master Instructor with the CA. State Fire Marshal and a Captain with the Upland Fire Department. I am also a member of the San Bernardino County Training Officers Association and manage the Training Resource And Information Network (T.R.A.I.N.) in which TO's store training material for sharing on an external drive. I look forward to assisting this group in the future.

Here are some ideas for making MAYDAY training props. We took an 8 foot 4x4 cut it in half, drilled multiple holes and ran rope through it to simulate an entanglement. The other prop we made uses 3/4" plywood and 4x4's as well. We took a full sheet of 3/4" plywood and cut it in half and attached it to two 4' 4x4's. This can be used as a ceiling collapse. We use them a lot and is a very inexpensive way to train your members on the most important word they will learn during their careers.

Great day today, spent the day teaching live fire/flashover survival to High School fire class, 40 students have now joined the next generation. It is a great feeling to give something back.

Good morning everyone. I think this site is great. Let me introduce myself, my name is Tom Wallace and I am currently a 2nd Assistant Chief in a small department in Weedsport, Ny. I have been a member now for 22 years, spent 7 as a Lieutenant, 3 as a Captain and now on my 2nd year as 2nd Asst. Chief. I have taken multiple training classes. Most recently finished Hazmat incident Command and am currently enrolled in the NIMS I300 which starts next week. I am also a American Heart Heartsaver First Aid instructor as well as a CPR/ AED instructor. I do believe with what Russ says fire have changed in a large way since I first joined. They are hotter, larger, and have more chemicals involved. So yes training and preparation are big to teach the new or younger members. Like Russ says Everyone Goes Home.
