Training for the real thing photo
Posted on Fire & EMS Leader Pro   1 day ago
Another thing I've never understood is "down time". What is this "down time"? Do these firefighters and officers know their job functions, their response district, the fire risks in that district, etc., so well that there is no need for training, drilling, touring, pre-planning, etc.?
