>> Register Here << This two day class will integrate the three major components of engine company work; fire behavior, hose management, and fire attack. The one thing that every fire department in the country has is fire hose. The one event that happens on every single fire is a hose-line gets pulled and water gets flowed. The Nozzle Forward is a class for engine company crews. It is not a collection of technique; it is an adaptable system of hose line management and fire attack. It is focused around fighting fire, interior offensive firefighting, aggressive firefighting, for which we will never apologize. Aggressive firefighting is not the problem, it is the solution. The goal of the “The Nozzle Forward” is to help craft more efficient Engine Companies by increasing the individuals’ competency with their tools and expanding on the conceptual aspects of the fire environment.

With multiple factors against us such as staffing, exponential fire growth, and changing fire conditions every department should be evaluating their attack package. Everything should be reviewed and discussed for potential improvement from the positive water source to the end of the nozzle. The three most common attack types will be reviewed heavily, which include the 1 3/4, the 2 1/2, and the deck gun.

Once you do, you can problem solve and work through many common fireground forcible entry challenges and know when and how to change things up and think or work outside the box to get the job done. This class is all about Irons work and it’s so much more than access, it’s addressing the main paths of egress! Upon completion of this course Firefighters will be able to dress and set up their tools for success, perform a rapid size up to identify and defeat multiple forcible entry challenges, perform initial interior size up, account for door control, effectively use commands to enhance communication, develop good striking techniques, and perform the appropriate standardized techniques while working alone or as part of a team. Seconds do count, we will be able to mask up quickly, make the force and make the grab, NOT EXCUSES! Multiple instructors will cover our mission and why we must occupy the interior space FOR THEM!
>> Register Here << Beyond the door is not just speaking about physically searching beyond the door but thinking outside the check box that has consumed most VES training. We will use experience, statistics and tempo to occupy the spaces where victims are most likely to be found and put THEM first! We will put you in real world scenario’s, environments and layouts that will reinforce your current VES skills and when, why, or how to move beyond the standard check box VES training. Some situations include: what to do if there is no door to control, can multiple FF's perform VES, do conditions allow us to continue the search beyond the door, how to deal with access / egress problems, victim removal issues, victims presenting at windows and much more.
>> Register Here << We will be performing forcible entry work and making GRABS under live fire, heat and smoke conditions. This class is about Refining your forcible entry and search skills and putting them to the test, buying back time and putting THEM first! We MUST: Mask Up Quickly, NO EXCUSES! Make the Force, NOT EXCUSES! Make the GRAB, NOT EXCUSES!
