I admit it, it’s happened to me… and I am sure that it’s happened to you too. Honestly, it’s easy to let happen.  You can try to justify it, in your own mind by saying; it’s just that we love what we do and that we want to do it all the time!  When fire presents itself, we want to get right in there!  While we know all to well the dangers and devastation that fire causes, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone that rides firetrucks that doesn’t want to go to them.  That said, the tendency to rush…

What People Are Saying About Us

  • And we were all impressed with the amount of first hand knowledge you guys had, and both of you taught it in a way that was easy to get, never showing any frustration with guys who lack your experience.    You guys were genuinely interested in teaching others and it showed.

  • A few years ago while working in Fairfax County we ran a website that was based on the two county fire departments and the one city department that ran together on calls everyday. It was MutualBox.com and that site contained information about fires, apparatus, operating procedures, equipment and most important tactical advice and commentary. We were able to get one of the most respected and disciplined fire officers from Arlington County, VA. to write some articles for the site. As I was digging around for material for tonight’s show on Fire Engineering Blog Talk Radio, I found an article that…

  • “Its erie how well the fire fit into what we went over throughtout the weekend, front storm door, steps on the side deck, a few turns to get into the living room, etc… but none of it caused any issues at all with the hoseload and the weekend still fresh in our mind.”

  • “I cannot convey how refreshing it is to attend a program such as yours and walk away with new skills and ideas.  Too often we are treated to tired lesson plans, outdated or impractical syllabi because that is what the fire schools teach and departments want.”

  • “At the end of the call I noticed that the work completed was what we normally would do, but in a more efficient and timely manner with less direction required. Instead of drowning the house, then opening the voids, we got the voids opened quickly, then conducted extinguishment. More importantly, with the potential for victims, we vented sooner than later.”

  • “As equally as important as the tool box that you have helped us expand and tweak, is the attitude and passion that you guys brought to the class.  Your enthusiasm and passion for the job is contagious and puts Traditions Training in the top notch category.”

  • “Awesome class, everything I wanted to accomplish as a Training Officer for our company this weekend was done so and then some.  Our guys have learned efficiency and how to do more in smaller numbers over the past two training classes.  It was great working with you guys again.”

  • “hey nick.  i took your class this past weekend and enjoyed every minute of it.”
