Communications Drill

2017-07-05T12:06:33.048Z

Congers Fire Department - Tonight our newer members participated in a communications drill where we worked on techniques to improve radio skills. Our members were broken up into teams and they had to communicate with the each other on how to assemble a Lego set. One team was given the Lego set and a portable radio the other team was given the instructions and a radio. The team that had the Lego set had no visual on what it should look like. We had the TV on in the background to attempt to provide a distraction. The purpose of this drill was to improve communications over the radio and work as a team to complete a task. Tonight's drill accomplished both!

20 Minute Progress Report

The Progress Report is a valuable tool to the Incident Commander and the companies working on the fireground. The report should be given at the 20 minute time mark and subsequent time marks at intervals of 20 minutes into the incident (i.e. 40 minute and 60 minute timestamps of the incident).

This video provides an audio and written example of such a report. For more information visit http://www.TraditionsTraining.com or email INFO@TRADITIONSTRAINING.COM

Missing Firefighter Scenario

2010-08-04T12:52:59.187Z

Brotherhood Instructors - This was the first scenario of several that challenged the members taking our RIT/FAST Scenarios course in Bensenville, Illinois on Saturday July 31st, 2010.

The instructors of Brotherhood Instructors, LLC played the initial companies responding to a house fire, and the victims in the scenario. Members of the course took positions as a second due engine, first due truck, RIT team and Incident Command.

Watch and listen to the radio transmissions, packaging, removal at this realistic and life-like scenario. The only thing that we cannot duplicate is the fire, everything else, we try to provide as life-like as possible.

This video is the rough version of the scenario (an edited version will follow shortly). Stay tuned for further videos from this course, and the previous days of training provided at the O'Hare Expansion Project acquired structures.
