6th Annual Jerry Fickes Memorial Training Weekend

6th Annual Jerry Fickes Memorial Training Weekend

The days of just showing up and just getting a ladder up here or there has faded away. There’s much more to it now! This class digs deep into the truck company pocket and is designed to take a look at primary functions of the truck company. This truck company operations program covers all the aspects from size up for officers, unit riding positions, hand tools and ladder placement, forcible entry tactics, tactical consideration for vertical ventilation and most importantly how to stay DISCIPLINED on the fire-ground. This class is an interactive hands-on class that will have you rethinking the roles of what it used to be to what it should be and is now.
