LIVE TRAINING AND HOT CLASSES
We’re proud to offer the following live, in-person classes and HOT opportunities. Our training cadre brings decades of real-world, actual fire-ground experience to your classroom and drill-ground.
PUMPING & HYDRAULICS
VOLUME + VELOCITY
Classroom: 4 Hours
HOT: 4 Hours
If you want to understand HOW to think about real-world, urban/sub-urban fire ground hydraulics, this is the class for you!
We teach you the framework inside the classroom and then quickly hit the drill ground to demonstrate how these principles are the critical foundation for success on the fire-ground.
URBAN/SUB-URBAN WATER SUPPLY
Classroom: 2 Hours
HOT: 6 Hours
Water supply IS the foundation for pumping! Without strong initial water supply tactics, our fire ground tactics can quickly unravel. We start in the classroom by laying a foundation that is based on real-world pumping scenarios and then hit the drill ground to run you through a series of evolutions that demonstrate how strong water supply tactics are the backbone of every fire ground incident.
[Sub} Urban PUMP ACADEMY - FULL WEEK
Classroom: 20 Hours
HOT: 20 Hours
This 40-hour course combines both classroom and HOT to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be an efficient and effective Driver Engineer / Pump Operator. The course is presented in a logical format that moves the student from the hydrant to the nozzle and is broken up into three sections:
1) Getting Water
2) Optimizing Water
3) Flowing Water
Local F.O.O.L.S EVents
1.5 Hours
If you have a FOOLS Chapter that is interested in an abbreviated version of our Volume + Velocity class, this is a great opportunity to understand the framework of pumping in the urban and sub-urban environment.
FORCIBLE & PASSIVE ENTRY
PROGRESSION OF DESTRUCTION (ResiDENTIAL)
HOT: 4 - 6 Hours (depending on class size)
If you are looking to become a true professional, someone who takes the oath to save lives and PROTECT PROPERTY seriously, this hands-on-training is for you!
Our goal is to equip you with a progressive methodology when it comes to making entry into residential structures. We will cover both respectful entry techniques (for situations that are deemed “less urgent,” minimizing damage) as well as traditional forcible entry techniques (for situations that require rapid entry and significant property damage is acceptable).
RESPECTFUL / PASSIVE ENTRY
HOT: 2 - 4 Hours
This hands-on-training is geared specifically to the art of passive entry — or what some call “respectful entry.”
We are going to teach you how to reduce property damage and increase your teams level of professionalism on non-emergent calls that do not require immediate entry into a structure, such as welfare checks, automatic fire alarms, assist invalids, etc.
