Where firefighters come to talk training

"Outside The Box" Engine Company Operations

Information

Engine Company work is often viewed as easy or not as fulfilling as "Truck Company work". This is absolutely not the case and some very "high speed" Engine Companies go to work everyday in very tough and arduous environments. They are only successful by relying on their relentless training, personal experiences and hunger to progress in the engine world.

This group is geared toward Engine Company tactics that use "outside the box" thinking to accomplish. Its purpose is to exchange information that will help others that view the discussions, posts and pictures.

Comment byJeff Schweringon August 22, 2013 at 2:16pm: Thanks for the invite Brother!

Comment byPatrick Brownon August 22, 2013 at 1:22pm: I would like to meet those who feel engine work is easy and unfulfilling....I'll bet they are truck guys or want to be truck guys.
