Don’t wait for a disaster to level up your fire training – GO BEYOND THE BASICS… BEAT THE STANDARD. When it comes to effective training vs. meeting the minimum standard some people learn the hard way that just doing the minimum to be compliant with OSHA or other training standards doesn’t do enough to protect Life or Property. https://buff.ly/3T6cXsM #firefightertraining #firetraining #FireRescue #Firefighting #Firefighters

🚒Scene Size-Up at a Hazmat Incident: Safety First!🔥 When responding to a hazardous materials scene, the first moments are crucial. As you can see in our recent hazmat operations response training with our industrial client; a thorough scene size-up is key to keeping both responders and the public safe. Always approach uphill, upwind, and upstream to minimize exposure to dangerous substances. Remember to assess the scene from a safe distance, taking note of potential hazards, spill locations, and weather conditions. This initial evaluation not only informs our strategy but also ensures the best possible response to protect everyone involved. Training in these best practices is essential for every firefighter and first responder.🔥 #HazmatSafety #SceneSizeUp #FirefighterTraining #RespondersFirst #HazmatResponse
