Combat Ready Fire Training Show

Join Nick Martin, Bill Cunningham (Flint Hill, SC), Drew Evans (DCFD), Kevin Burges, and Christian Lambis (SFD) for a powerful topic on searches for civilian victims. On this show we will be diving deep into search techniques, scenarios, and lessons learned from actual rescues we've been a part of.

Join Nick Martin, BC Frank Malta (Frederick County) and Capt. Sean Donovan (Frederick County) as talk about the technician, chauffeur, wagon or truck driver – whatever you call it – this position is one of the most important assignments on any company and is often not paid the attention it is due. On this show we will be talking about our experiences in these positions as well as workflows and tips for new and existing drivers for both in the firehouse and on the fireground.

What makes an engine company Combat Ready? Nick Martin, BC Frank Malta (Frederick County), Capt. Sean Donovan (Frederick County), FF Tim McCloskey (Horry County Fire and Rescue) and Capt. Spencer White (Salisbury, NC) answer this question as they talk about setting up the apparatus, crews, and plans, plus the mindset and habits that go into developing an aggressive engine company.

Nick Martin, Frank Malta, Kevin Burges, and Sean Donovan discuss the two primary fireground command models: Incident Command Driven vs. Predetermined Assignment (SOG Driven) fireground command. They get into challenges and tips for operating in both environments, and how each affects our ability to rapidly deploy firefighters to get water on the fire and hands on the victim as fast as possible. 🔥⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES ⬇️🔥 👨🏻‍🚒 Learn more about me and our classes http://www.CombatReadyFire.Com 💻 Access our library of online courses https://www.CombatReadyFire.com/individual 🧢 Shirts, hats, command boards, our store https://www.combatreadyfire.com/shop 🎙 Check out our podcast https://spoti.fi/3TgV7S4 https://apple.co/3rWKkRA 👋🏼 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nmartin33/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickMartinCombatReady/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nmartin33

We'll be talking with Frederick County Fire & Rescue's Battalion Chief Frank Malta and Captain Sean Donovan about their top notch Recruit Training Academy. If you follow Chief Malta (@firefightnchief) on Instagram - you've no doubt seen this hardcore recruit school that builds motivated, disciplined firefighters. Join us as we talk about the mindsets, concepts, and practices behind this training academy and the high-quality firefighters that it produces.

When should you deploy a SEARCH ROPE? What is it used for? What are the best techniques for utilizing it? 🪢🧐👨🏻‍🚒 We'll be talking about search rope operations, our equipment setup, and our workflows - including video and lessons learned from deployment on some real fires. Nick will be joined by Kevin Burges (Captain), Jake Richardson (Engineer) and Christian Lambis (Firefighter) from the Salisbury (NC) Fire Dept.

How do you build a #CombatReady culture in your company/department? 🤔👨🏻‍🚒 It starts with you, in whatever position or rank you are in. With me will be the members of SFD Ladder 1, B-Shift - and this will be a unique opportunity to hear from the captain, engineer, and firefighter perspectives. We'll talk about their workflows, daily actions, fireground actions, and how their mindsets contribute to building an effective and cohesive company. Join Nick, Kevin Burges (Captain), Jake Richardson (Engineer) and Christian Lambis (Firefighter), from Salisbury Ladder 1 for some tactical truck company talk.

On this podcast we’ll dive into why good command matters on EVERY fire. The thing is, not everyone understands this. Some people tend to think that command doesn't matter - at all, and some think it only matters on "the big one". You won't be surprised to hear that our take is that BOTH ARE WRONG.    Nick Martin (Deputy Chief, Salisbury NC), Floyd Wise (Deputy Chief, Harrisburg Bureau of Fire), and Kevin Burges (Captain, Salisbury Ladder 1) take questions and discuss command practices and the mindset of a "firefighter's chief". 👨🏻‍🚒 Video of this Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjzp6d9NQqI&t=907s 🔥⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES ⬇️🔥 👨🏻‍🚒 Learn more about me and our classes http://www.CombatReadyFire.Com 💻 Access our library of online courses https://www.CombatReadyFire.com/indiv... 🧢 Shirts, hats, command boards, our store https://www.combatreadyfire.com/shop 👋🏼 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nmartin33/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickMartinCo...
