You are a leader...For those of you reading this training, you are a leader. If you are working shift, or taking the time to be proactive and read this on your own time, you are a leader. Being a leader means that the other members of the department are going to be looking to you for guidance and direction especially in the first 10 minutes of a structure fire operation.
Much like the platinum 600 is critical in patient care, the first 10 minutes are just as vital with fire ground operations. The decisions that are made and the actions that are taken in the first 10 minutes will often determine the outcome of the fire operation. As a leader in this department it is crucial that you not only understand the tactics for first due operations but are also proficient in each of the tasks associated with these tactics.
For this week we are going to be focusing on two man first due drills. The purpose of this drill is to encompass all of the tasks that may be required of the first due engine.
- Dress out drill
- Hand Jack 200' of LDH
- Fully Extend 24' ladder to building
- Deploy 200' Pre-Connect or Wye-Line
- Charge Line
- Navigate hose line through the bay to mezz
- Save Rescue Randy from the mezz and bring outside
Remember: Lead from the front and Inspire those Around You!
