one of the most engaging classes I have attended has been Dave Dodson, "The Art of Reading Smoke". I would recommend this classs to everyone.

I had an "art of reading smoke" class last year. Instructor was the Sugarland, TX Training Chief, his name escapes me. . .

Believe it or not one of the best trainings I've ever attended was right after a working garage fire.

I was the IC and we pulled up with smoke showing in the rear of hte residence that turned out to be a garage on fire. I was a first year assistiant chief. Crew of 5 (back in the 80's) and the hudrant was 150 feet beyond the scene. I requested an additional engine and we pulled 2 1 1/2 lines. Wasn't anything special but when we got back the ex assistant chief who was on the line questioned some of my descions. Wasn't rude about just asked why I did some things. Well 2 hours later after everyone (about 15 of us) were talked out I just realized we had a lesson on scene management.

I took alot of what I learned that day and passes it on to others.

I would have to say either RIT or "the art of reading smoke". But the best is when you are doing any sort of training everyday.

Debriefing right after an incident is always some of the best training,in my opinion too. What if? How could we have done this better? What went right? What went wrong?
