Truck Work: The Bare-Boned Basics
November 15-17
This 20-hour non-certification class will consist of 4 hours of lecture and 16 hours of hands-on training related to traditional truck company operations.
The role and responsibilities of a designated truck company is to create survivable space and remove trapped occupants. Throughout this class, students will be exposed to the culture, mindset, and task level skills necessary for a dynamic truck company to successfully carry out this mission.
By focusing on the bare bones basics of a truck company’s role and responsibility, each student will develop knowledge and experience performing their truck company’s primary function via multiple reps executed under the guidance of a well-versed training staff.
The hands-on portion of the class will establish an emphasis on fireground assignments such as gaining entry, ventilation, search, and vertical access to structures.
The course fee is $150.00, registration will open September 1.
Patches
The Safety Training Center has a beautiful large display board where we place patches from the various departments who have come to train here at CFCC.
We would love to include your patch in our Parade of Honor! Please bring a patch the next time you attend our classes, and we will proudly display it.
