Testimonials
"We found the DVDs to be very informative and covered exactly what I find to be a void in many academies for new recruits, and something we lack with continuing education for our veterans. These types of calls represent a large number of our service requests and as such, it's imperative that our line personnel get this information and training. Nice job and look forward to other topics you may have produced as a training option, or new ones to come.
- Tim Sashko, Fire Chief
"The DVD series was excellent. It provided needed information to all levels of our department. As Training Officer, and with the backing from our Chiefs, we have have made it mandatory for all members of our department so they are on the same page. This is also helping us develop new SOP's for chimney fire responses. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us."
