The student will be introduced to the basic concept of truck company operations as part of an organized, coordinated structural fire suppression operation. Truck companies, regardless of whether they arrive on an aerial device, squad, or engine, are the ‘combat engineers’ of fire attack operations. This course, for experienced fire fighters, will introduce the student to the basic concept of truck company operations and duties, including organizing the delivery of truck company services, selection and use of key tools, advanced ventilation and forcible entry theory and practices, search and rescue, and other fire attack support functions.
Special Note: Instructor(s) will be asking for students to see if their Department can supply an Aerial for the second day of class. It is not required for every student to bring an apparatus.
