FIRE ACADEMY TACTICAL TRAINING AND REFERENCE DVD My husband and I have been in the fire service, EMS and medical field for over 18 years. He started his service as a Paid Call Firefighter 18 years ago. Since that time, he has climbed the ranks taking every class imaginable offered. He currently holds the rank of Full Time Fire Captain here in Southern California. His previous fire experience includes: Member of County Hazmat Team Member of County Urban Search & Rescue Team (USAR) Member of CSFA, IAFF & NFPA During the past 18 years, I have worked in the medical field in various training capacities such as Performance Improvement and Risk Management for a large medical facility who was responsible for ensuring all staff from MD's to Physician Assistants, RN's, LVN's and Medical Assistants receive ongoing training and education. I have also been a medical transcriptionist for the past 15 years. The training materials offered in my listing are a combined work of the many years of training in the above fields. These materials are unique to both of our actual work experience. Approved for National Contracting with Government & State Agencies!

This builds confidence and allows for the recognition of conditions that could endanger their lives. The final step is the review of actual fire incidents through debriefing. During both my husband's firefighting career and my emergency room/ medical experience, it has been my opinion that everyone tries to do their very best at an emergency incident. Rarely is the performance “perfectâ€, there is always something to be learned from every incident. Firstly, everyone must encourage each other to honestly appraise their own performance and then to appraise the performance of others in the team in a positive manner to ensure that people are not discouraged, strengths should be reinforced, and areas of improvement should be identified. Strategies can then be developed to ensure increased efficiency and safety. To obtain this maximum benefit I am offering Tactical Training and Reference Cd/DVD's that focus on individualized training topics. Review of realistic training sessions can greatly assist in identifying and rectifying deficiencies in training, equipment, protective clothing and operational procedures. This training DVD+R is great for the new firefighter looking to improve his skills, the volunteer firefighter who is looking to land a Full-time position or for a department who is seeking to enhance their training library. This training DVD+R has been broken down into training modules. You will the following. Module 1 - Firefighter Career Information ffemsJob Descriptions Sample Interview and Test Questions Actual Online Practice Exam Firefighter I Practice Exam Questions Firefighter II Practice Exam Questions Module 2 - Fire Academy Hose & Nozzles Video Training Each firefighter must have a thorough knowledge of hose and hose lay techniques to ensure that fat efficient hose lays are performed. Full comprehension of fire hose operations includes a knowledge of hose construction, maintenance, testing of hose and couplings, the loading and rolling of hose, and fire hose evolutions. Knowledge of fire hose operation is a must for all firefighters; a single mistake could make the difference between containment of the fire and destruction of property and life. Identify Handline Sizes and Types 1 3/4" & 2" Attack Lines Identify Supply line Sizes and Types Demonstrate Loading Hose Beds (Accordion, Horseshoe, Flat) Demonstrate Forward & Reverse Hose Lays Hose Rolls (Single Donut, Double Donut, Twin Donut, Self Locking) Appliances & Tools (Nozzles, Connectors, Adaptors) Maintenance & Hose Pressure Testing Improper Cleaning & Storage High Pressure Fog Stream Solid Stream Hand Line Adjustable Fog Hand line Tools (wrenches, Chaffing Blocks, Ropes & Straps) Module 3 - Fire Academy Ladder Training Three major objectives of fire ground operations are Rescue, Fire Control and Property Conservation. In order to obtain these objectives, firefighters must perform a variety of tasks using a variety of tools. Ladders, if used correctly, are a valuable and necessary fire ground tool. Fire Departments use a variety of ladder sizes and types. It is the responsibility of all personnel to know the capabilities of all ladders and maintain a high level of training and efficiency when using them. Removing Ladders from Apparatus Removing roof ladder of 24' extension Ladder - one Person Removing a roof ladder or extension Ladder - two Person Removing a 35" extension ladder - three Person Carrying a Roof or straight Ladder - one person Carrying a 24' extension ladder - one person Carrying an extension ladder - two person Carrying an extension ladder - three person Raising Roof or Straight Ladder - one person Raising a 24' extension ladder - one person Raising a 24'-34' extension ladder - two person beam raise Raising a 24'-35' extension ladder - two person flat raise Raising a 35' extension ladder - three person Taking Roof or Straight Ladders Aloft Practice Exam with Answer Key Module 4 - Fire Academy SCBA Training Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a positive pressure breathing apparatus and is sometimes known as a pressure demand unit. Positive pressure SCBA's act by supplying air to the firefighter when he/she inhales and by supplying a small constant flow of air to the face piece. This constant air flow creates an air pressure in the face piece greater than that of the surrounding atmosphere thereby keeping contaminated air out of the mask. Firefighters should understand how to operate a SCBA to use it properly. Procedures you must be familiar with are: Donning and doffing the SCBA Specifications of the unit Additionally, firefighters should understand the Personal Alarm Device (PAD) and maintenance. PAD is a personal alarm device which will activate, via a loud, shrill alarm, when a lack of movement is detected. The alarm will assist other firefighters in locating and rescuing fellow firefighters. Module 5 - Fire Academy Ropes & Knots Training Course & VIDEO Firefighters have always used ropes and knots in the normal course of their operations. Ropes, or lines, are used in a wide variety of operations including hoisting, lowering, anchoring, rigging, as lifelines and for crowd control. For example, rope arranged with pulleys in a mechanical advantage system can double or triple the weight a Firefighter may lift or lower. Improper use of ropes or knots can cause the failure of an operation resulting in injury to life and damage to property.
