Arriving first due can be the most exciting spot for anyone, you can either get right into the fight our you could be putting in place
actions that the second and third due get to take advantage of. The first 5 minutes of the fire will determine what you will be doing 5 hours from now. If those first 5 minutes are a bunch of mistakes compounding on top of one another or if they are a well played out plan that has been practiced over and over then the two outcomes will be far from the same.
Go until your bell rings!! Then breath down your bottle and mark your final times!
My rookie made 47 mins on a 4500 bottle.

Today’s quick thought of the day is about pike poles. Here is a quick way to differentiate between the different sizes of pike poles when on the fire ground. A little bit of spray paint can go along way. Doing this allows for quick deployment of the appropriate lengths when called for on the fire ground. Stay Prepared!
When I decided to start a website, I didn’t know where I should begin. There are so many topics in today’s fire service that could be covered. I could have written about Special Operations and how this training is a key specialty of today’s fire service. And I could have designed my page around EMS and how it’s part of the “new” fire service. As I sit here pondering all of my options, one thing truly comes to mind, nothing and I mean nothing beats being FIRST DUE to a fire.
