Are They Searching?
“Or did they say they searched”
:
One of the most telling signs of the members searching is to always go back and look at the walls. The walls don’t lie. When we examine the walls we will usually see swipes from their gloves on the wall, and that’s good when we want to make sure that they’re covering the vertical portion of the search.
:
Now keep in mind this won’t show the horizontal portion of stretching out, and coming off the wall. When we’re on the wall, there are key things that we’re looking for. Windows, doors, hinges that indicate doors and anything that might be telling us that an area leads to another space. Do yourself and your crews a favor after jobs and training…go back and look and look at the walls. It’ll tell you what got done or not, and if your crews know that you’ll be checking…it helps to keep them honest that the signs will show in the end.

🚨**Product Alert**🚨
“Phenix TC-1”
:
We are pleased to announce that is now our premier choice for protective headwear. Specifically the new TC-1 (traditional composite 1) lid.
:
For years we have worn old hand me down training lids, or decommissioned lids from the job, in an effort to just get by while we teach. That’s all changing as we have found the one we like it of the box. This one has the typical traditional look with all the feels and completely customizable the way that fits our needs and still matching our style. Some of the features that we like and decided to go with that just collided with our vibes:
🔥- Matte/flat black paint scheme
🔥- Traditional burke eye shields
🔥- Low profile & low center of gravity 🔥- Lightweight (55 oz.)
🔥- Suspension liner & comfort pad
🔥- Black removable ear-laps
🦅- Traditional American Eagle (color customizable)
🇺🇸- MADE IN THE USA
:
If you haven’t had an opportunity to see how Phoenix helmets have changed the game in both leather and composite fire lids, check them out. Lots of good stuff, keeping the traditional fire service look and not compromising our safety at the same time.

**Capitol Quick-Tip**
“Effective & Efficient”
:
The modern day fireground is full of tasks that need to be completed, and if you ask any couple of people everyone can have a different opinion on what’s the most important task. The fact of the matter is this, there’s many variables when it comes to what we can get done on the fireground. Much of it will depend on:
-🔥Time
-🔥Staffing
-🔥Physical Capability
-🔥What’s happening w/ the Fire?
And many more variables. With that said we have to be efficient in our ability to use or tools and effectively be able to make a difference. On the fireground. If we are not operating smart where we are capable in our ability to stretch a line, force a door, or bang a ladder…then we’re wasting energy that could be distributed in another place on that same fire-ground.
:
As we have to navigate the above mentioned list, when we cannot get things done because we have no steam left, then it becomes a bigger problem. When we cannot make access, get lines into place, and put out the fires quickly we best figure out how we can navigate these skills more effectively and efficiently, because that’s what is expected of us.
