Are you Down To Fight Fire? Then listen in to a group of small town Firefighters as we discuss how our department works together to Innovate, Adapt and Overcome the challenges we face both on and off the Fire ground.
E266 - Multi Department and Agency Task Force SIM
This week Ash and Todd bring Scott back up to speed on what they have been up to. Ash explains a multi department/multi agency wild fire SIM that he helped set up that seen around 7 departments, BCEHS represented by TODD, RCMP, Search and Rescue as well as BC WildFire Services. What started out as a large piece of equipment on fire then spread to ground fuels and eventually into a rank 3 rank 4 wild fire that was threatening a neighbouring community.
WHO WE ARE
As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.
WHAT WE DO
We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!
WHY WE SHARE
Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

E265 - BC WILD FIRE - ENGINE BOSS
This week we chat about the BC Wild Fire Engine Boss course. Scott, Ash and other members of their department helped BCWFS prep and set up for an engine boss course.

E264 - How we build a FTX / Scenario - Arson Structure Fires
This week the whole crew is back together and we talk about building a scenario or an FTX. How to plan out whats required, what is expected and how to react when things don’t go as planned. Ash breaks down a recent Arson Scenario where the crew was dispatched to their training grounds with signs of smoke showing with no fire engines on scene from a nearby resident. The call progressed into multiple Pt’s missing, multiple burn buildings on fire that had command looking to take a step back and hand off areas of the scenario to his officers for the best outcome.

E262 - Podcast and Brand Update
This week we made the tough choice to announce a brief break in podcast episodes. All 3 of us are currently being pulled in many directions outside of the podcast which has made creating content increasingly difficult. We felt it was in ours and our listeners best interest to pause production for what could be a few weeks or months and come back with a new focus and a re branding of what we are delivering on a weekly basis. We want to thank each and every one who has been with us on our journey and can’t wait to get back soon chatting with you all.

This week welcome Scott back to the studio and get an update on the Wild Land Task Force Leader course he recently took.

One in particular was dedicated to Todds father, who spent 53 years of service in Osoyoos.

This Todd and Ash get together while Scott is away training and chat about some of the recent calls they ran while dealing with a cold snap of -25 degree days.

E258: Legacy Home Structure Fire and Cement Truck Rollover
This week are back at it with our first episode of 2024. We recap 2 calls, one being a structure fire at a legacy home on New Years Eve, as well as a Cement Truck roll over with entrapment on New Years Day. Both calls brought out unique challenges that the teams had to work around. Listen as we debrief both and kick off the new year with a bang.

E257: Life Imitates Training
This week we talk about how often real calls mimic what we train. Train vehicle roll over, call to service for vehicle roll over. Have a scenario about a kitchen fire at the Hockey Arena, call to service for a kitchen fire at the arena. Brinks truck rolls over and they give us all the money…. wishful thinking. Hear us talk about the arena training and then a call for exactly that within days of the FTX as well as many other times life has imitated training.

E256: Embracing Winter. MVA Debrief, VEIS training and Arena Evac break down
This week we took a look back at our recent training that had Todds department working on VEIS and other search methods. Scott and Ash’s department joined with Parks and Rec to hold an evacuation drill at their local Ice Arena where they added simulated smoke and fire with missing patients. They also break down an MVA call that Scott and Ash were out of town when it came in but wanted to give all parties the props they deserve.

E255: Planning a Scenario
This week we took a listener question and break down how we as a group plan some of our Scenarios / FTX’s. From brainstorming ideas, folding in additional help to implementing the event. Let us know what you do to plan scenarios and how you keep them realistic and high fidelity.
WHO WE ARE
As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.
WHAT WE DO
We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!
WHY WE SHARE
Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.
