Hey Tim, welcome to the Nation. Nice to have good folks here. I have tried more than once to watch your FDIC address about status quo from 2007, but the FE link won't work. would love to see it or read it if you have it, we are in a status quo mode right now, it would be a great resource. Again, welcome!

Hi Tim, I’m a retired Fire Chief and understand the importance of health & fitness for our responders. I joined FF Nation to share my incredible wellness story with everyone. Fitness is only a part of the equation; internal wellness is the real essential for healthy responders. Many of us need to get healthier. If you’re interested in more information about this life changing program please send me an email at: John@IncidentMT.com
Thanks, John

Welcome Tim ! Have a nice day

enjoyed your article on automatic aid. It does work with a little effort

Thanks for a great class this weekend, Tim! I enjoyed it a lot, and I had high expectations.

I did get a lot out of it. How often do things that go exactly as planned? Last year I read something from the USFA's technical report series on fireground communications. It said something to the effect that we spend a lot of time training manipulative skills, and very little time training stress tempered communication skills. As a result, it seems like communication is always a huge problem (too much talking on the radio, incomprehensible shouting into the facepiece, not answering the radio, and so on). I've always learned more from failure than from success, but then again, I can be a stubborn man! I discussed the class with my B/C and we're going to work on our command structure, strategy and tactics, and radio discipline for big box fires. It was very beneficial for me to be the Division Bravo supervisor and take a turn at IC, even though we were behind the 8 ball. The K-12 saws sort of sucked, but anyone who didn't take something valuable away from that class either wasn't paying attention or expected to be entertained rather than educated. I didn't think it was that bad at all. Of course, I'm my own worst critic, and I hate when things do go smoothly, especially if I'm the one teaching! Anyway, I appreciate what you do. You're a great instructor. Good luck in your new role with N. Las Vegas!

NICE TO HAVE RUN ACROSS YOU TIM...STILL REMEMBER THEM EARLY YEARS? I KNOW U DO....Terry, Sr.
