The first stop on the Tactical Tutelage Tour finds us in new territory on Cape Ann.
New England FOOLS member and Portsmouth Firefighter Tim Griswold will be speaking on the topic of fire-based EMS.
He’ll discuss how to maximize the capabilities of the ambulance crew during fire suppression operations by using their personnel, skills, and knowledge. Discussion will include how fire department administration can create policies to efficiently integrate the ambulance crew into fireground operations, how to properly equip the ambulance for the tasks the crew could be expected to perform, and training the firefighters assigned to ambulances to properly prepare and maintain the proper mindset to be a valuable asset on the fireground. Although most fire departments have taken an all-hazards approach to emergency response, the primary mission of the fire department remains fire suppression.
Tim was set to present at FDIC in 2020 when a global pandemic changed everyone’s plans! He will be presenting this very program at FDIC 2021 in Indianapolis in August.
Program will begin at 1600 Sunday July 11th at the brand new Essex Mass Fire Station, 11 John Wise Ave, Essex. A good excuse to take a nice ride to Cape Ann and get some fresh seafood when the class is done.
