Truck Academy

Course Description:

This is a one-day HANDS ON class. The morning is spent on the drill ground honing truck company fireground tasks and skills. Participants will be placed in groups and practice search priority and techniques, outside vent (OV) duties, VES operations, ladder packages and deployments, and forcible entry. The afternoon is entirely evolution-based. Participants will put their skills to practice in numerous building fire scenarios. Participants will sit in multiple seats on each apparatus and run multiple different evolutions. Each evolution is designed to challenge the participants to make decisions regarding hoseline placement, search, ventilation, VES, forcible entry, and ground ladders.
