I don’t teach strategy and tactics because I’m not at your fire. I teach basics because that’s what gets the damn job done. Sick of people peddling a magic fix all. Be a student of the game and give a shit. It’s easy.
It's a sad state of affairs when the bodies of our fallen Brothers are not even buried and people are already second guessing what transpired. Give it a break.....

#Chicago logged its 400th homicide yesterday, 4 days sooner than last year. 2015 hit 400 on Sept 29th and 2014 waited until Nov 10th.

@bfdboss @bobpress3 Thanks for the excellent VES/RIC class in live fire conditions- our guys really enjoyed it.
Now how about the same fire through the door? Always nice when it's vented. And maybe a victim behind the door? xitter.cf/LtRayMack/status/84128…
Take a look at this video and what it takes to put out this fire from the outside.

Sad that this is what we, as a Fire Service, have begun to accept as the norm xitter.cf/cltobinstlfd/status/83…
I've witnessed successful transitional attack. Companies were interior but fire drove them out.They transitioned from offensive to defensive xitter.cf/cltobinstlfd/status/82…

Closing interior doors when going to bed at night is vital to saving lives if you have a fire.... this video demonstrates it perfectly!!!
