Combat Ready Firefighting

Saint Louis City Hall 0830-1630 hrs

300 N Mill, Saint Louis, Michigan

01/25/2025
 It’s all about attitude. How we approach the job dictates how we perform the job.
Our attitude is our choice and this intense, interactive training frankly discusses
the attitudes and mindsets in today’s fire service and how they affect our ability
to save lives and property, keep each other safe, and get the job DONE.

Too many firefighters, and entire departments, have allowed complacency and
poor attitudes to slip in to their heads and operations resulting in inefficient
operations that do not deliver what our citizens expect and deserve. For those
with the right mindset, the frustration of working with others who are “checked
out” can be intensely frustrating, and watching the effects of poor performance
on the fireground can be tragic and heartbreaking.
 
We’ll explore the sources
and causes of this complacency, the resulting “calamity of errors” and what you
can specifically do to implement a Combat Ready mentality at the individual,
company and department levels.

Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting

Brookhaven Firehouse 0800-1700 hrs

2 Cambridge Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015

03/22/2025
Incident command systems are often overdone or underdone.
Cumbersome command practices that allow the building to burn down
while command is “setup” are just as frustrating and problematic as the
lack of any strong direction and organization.

Departments must avoid impractical command practices that slow
or hamper putting the fire out, but must also avoid a lack of strong
command that fails to organize the incident and aggressively deploy
crews to solve the problem. This program discusses best practices
incident commanders can use to maximize the capabilities of their
firefighting forces.

This topic is designed not only for chief officers, but for company officers
as well. A strong understanding of each other’s jobs and a mutual respect
are imperative for any incident’s success. This program will serve as a
forum for chiefs and officers to discuss and learn about each other’s
roles, the jobs of each within the command system and practices that
will make each more successful – individually and as a team.

What People Are Saying About Combat Ready Fire

This is a phenomenal course. As a newer firefighter, it has given me ideas and goals to work towards in an effort to improve my performance on the job, but also that of my colleagues. It is simple, straight forward advice that I believe can easily gain buy in from most fellow firefighters that have a passion for this career.
Gregory Sowl
Incredible training. Every firefighter should be take this course. It is motivational, eye opening, and exactly on point. Thank you.
Tim Lambert
It's easy to fall into the same habits while running a call, and you give the perspective of someone who has been there and learned from it. You truly don't know what you're rolling up to on a call and being prepared can make the difference in saving a life.
Kyra Gilkey
Great info.
Chad Herdt
Great way to kick off the mindset for becoming Combat Ready, I look forward to the other programs you have available that we have planned for our department.
Robert Martin
Message was really good. May help in future, and this is my only course so far, to have another person or 2 give some perspective. Even if it's only for a short video or 2, just to have different perspectives. Enjoyed it very much. Will be ordering another when I get paid again, thank you, much to take off this training.
Kevin Lewis
This was a very eye opening class. I am sure to take this further within our department! Finally someone else that says what I've been feeling! Thank you.
Dakota Davis
Thanks Nick, very well organized and informative program
James Courtice
Great material!
Michael Alvarado
This course was exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to get my company out of a long slump of complacency and laziness and Chief Nick Martin just hit a home run with this course. I definitely recommend this course to anybody who is looking to change their mindset into a combat ready mindset.
Matthew Villalon
Absolutely loved the content and the message your putting forth. I think something like this has been a long time coming and a necessity unfortunately with the culture shift that is taking place in the Fire Service today. Trying the implement this mindset in our department will be an uphill battle but as with most things in life, nothing worth fighting for is going to come easily.
Chris Porter
Great course to get impassioned again by the fire service
Tracy Jocque
What you've talked about is right up my alley. No matter what level of experience you have in the Fire Service, you can always make an incremental improvement or change in yourself that makes you a better firefighter or officer, or helps us do the job better.As a Training Officer, I've followed the mantra of "To Serve, To Train and To Pass It On". You've reinforced this for me, and given me more constructive angles to incorporate in myself and my training programs..
Charles Hamilton
Great job. Love the passion, appreciate the honesty. Anyone who says they haven't made mistakes just hasn't been around long enough to. 1-0 might be a perfect record, but it's also just one win (and probably a lucky one). Making mistakes is human but not learning from them is inexcusable.
Matt Alexander
This is a must MUST watch.
