FALL FIRE & FIRST DUE BOSS 2021 (POSTPONED)
October 30, 2021 - October 31, 2021
Due to circumstances beyond our control, specifically related to building repairs, maintenance and certification we cannot be guaranteed that the facility will be ready in time for us.
We have tentatively rescheduled this for April Fools weekend 2022, the 2&3rd of April.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
JOIN THE NEW ENGLAND AND CHARTER OAK FOOLS FOR A WEEKEND OF TRAINING IN NORTHEAST CT
A WISE FIREMAN ONCE SAID, “THE FIRE GOES AS THE FIRST LINE GOES”, AND TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN. WITH THAT, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO A SUCCESSFUL FIRE ATTACK THAN JUST STRETCHING A PROPER LINE. AS WE ALL KNOW, IF SOMETHING GOES SIDEWAYS AT THE OUTSET, IT GENERALLY MAKES FOR A LONG DAY ON THE FIREGROUND.
THIS PROGRAM WILL INTRODUCE AND REINFORCE SOME TENETS OF BASIC FIREMANSHIP WHILE ADDRESSING AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE REALITY OF OUR EVERY-DAY STAFFING.
THE HANDS-ON PORTION OF THE PROGRAM WILL TAKE US TO THE SIMULATED FIREGROUND WHERE WE WILL FIRST PERFORM VARIOUS SKILL STATIONS INCLUDING STRETCHING HAND LINES IN A HOARDER ENVIRONMENT, VES, STREET SMART LADDERS AND SEARCHING WITH THE TIC. WE WILL ALSO PUT THESE TOGETHER IN REAL-TIME EVOLUTIONS WHERE THE STUDENTS WILL ACT AS THE FIRST-IN AND FIRST-DUE COMPANIES ON A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE FIRE.
PROGRAM COST IS $165 FOR NON-FOOLS MEMBERS, $150 FOR FOOLS MEMBERS. SINGLE-DAY SATURDAY $125. LUNCH INCLUDED BOTH DAYS.
