Training Our Fire Service Minds
Posted on Leatherhead Mafia 1 day ago
It’s your first day at the training grounds. Your instructors seem to be well seasoned and know the subject matter well. You eagerly learn all you can about the drill at hand and can’t wait to put the information learned to good use. It’s your turn to enter the structure and search for victims. While in the structure, you recall the skills learned and practiced and start to put them into effect. But suddenly you look back and your partner is not there. Your mind starts racing… What could have happened to them? They were just there! You turn around and head back in the direction you came from with a sense of urgency. Your heart is beating faster and your breathing has increased. As you come around the corner, you find your partner entangled in some debris and they are panicking also. You quickly try to help them get disentangled so you can continue your search. You both work tirelessly to free him. Once you have freed him you realize you are almost out of air, but have no idea where you are in the structure. Should I try to go back? Should I quickly move forward? What should I do?
