Top Issues Facing Responders:
Training and Safety.

If you're not training in your down time, you're doing an injustice to the people working underneath you.

We work an average of 10 shifts per month. We train an average of 15 times per month. That's a minimum of 15 hours per month. My opinion is that's not enough. How many hours do you get?

Train like your life depends on it. Make sure the people you are responsible for have the tools necessary to go home safely.
