Get Well Jeff from your Firefighter Basics Family
February 26, 2011 | news | firestudent1 | 2 Comments

After learning last night that a good friend and contributing  Jeff Schwering was not doing well. I thought I would ask everyone to pray for our Brother firefighter and his family. Jeff broke his leg Jan 19  and subsequently since then has had two brain bleeds. Please Keep Jeff and his family in your prayers. If you would like to leave words of encouragement we will get them to his wife so she can read them too him. We will try and keep everyone updated.

The next big thing…or just another acronym?
Though hitting a fire from the outside lowers the temperature in the room, it raises it closer to the floor. I've been a firefighter for 14 years and work for an inner city department. You'd better be damn sure there are no victims in the structure anywhere near where those heated gasses are going to…

It's simple and can't be used for any type of call. I know it won't ever catch like SLICERS but it works. First…

When I think of slicers or dicers I think of an acronym to remind you of interior attack tactics.
