Dealin’ with the tough stuff
A line of duty death can devastate a fire company. With over 100     LODD’s each year, most fire companies take the attitude that it won’t  happen here.  What can you expect if you have a LODD? Our staff will take you though the moments immediately following a LODD including the following:  notification of family and department members, dealing with the media, insuring documentation is preserved, preparing for an internal fact finding, and the formal investigation process. Additionally, this course will address litigation that may follow. Finally, our instructors will guide you through a “soul searching” process to review what practices and procedures you already have in place and what you can do to prevent a LODD.

Ops in large, complex structures, large area search procedures
This comprehensive program will focus on firefighters searching for life, fire or downed firefighter(s) in a complex/large area occupancy. Firefighters must have a search procedure in place allowing them to simplify this low frequency, extremely high risk event. With the use of a thermal imaging camera and search line, firefighters will be able to search complex/large area occupancies safer, quicker and more effectively. A fire in a commercial building can be difficult and fast spreading. Whether it's in a family business in rural America or a mega mall in a big city, one thing is for sure; the fire will be manpower intensive and very dangerous.
