DTFF: The Volunteer Firefighter Podcast - Down To Fight Fire

E247 - The Responsibility of the Driver/ Engineer, FTX Recap and looking back on Sept 11th and National Fallen Fire Fighter Day.

This week chat about the responsibility that rests on the driver / engineers shoulders. Getting to a call quickly but safely can be one of the toughest parts of a job with current drivers out on the road. We then go onto a recent FTX that had a simulated brush fire, vehicle over embankment with two patients to be extricated. We also took a look back and remembered the Fire Fighters and First responders of Sept 11.

WHO WE ARE

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.

WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!

WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.
