Big Truck; Small Crew

This original course developed by Lt. Dave Gallagher and Firefighter Bob Swick is an interactive presentation which provides the firefighter and officer with a wide variety of strategies and tactics when assigned to an understaffed truck company. Topics include portable ladders, search techniques, ventilation, forcible entry, and operating within the Incident Command System. Although we certainly do not advocate short-staffing, we know it is a reality in many departments.
