Acquired through an Assistance to Firefighters Grant, the Mobile Driving Simulation Lab system is a training resource that is integrated into a driver skills and judgement training curriculum. It provides a bridge between classroom-delivered instruction and actual operation of a motor vehicle on a prepared course or public roadway. A driver can experience the consequences of making decisions based upon incomplete information. Drivers can practice making decisions in simulated life and death situations similar to those actually encountered on the road that would be too dangerous to perform in the real world. This course will include a lecture and then hands-on portion.

Is your volunteer fire department struggling to maintain relevance in our changing society? Does your current service delivery model meet the needs and expectations of your community? Are you struggling to recruit, train, and retain members? Each day, it seems that the news feeds contain a story about a volunteer department closing its doors, in financial trouble, or even worse legal trouble. There seems to be a nationwide panic about the critical shortage of volunteers. Does it have to be this way? In this class we will: examine how industry and society trends impact today's volunteer fire service, take a hard look at the way we've always done it, as well as share and develop alternative ways to recruit, market, lead, train and manage our departments and members.

Sat. Only - Rural Success: Winning With the Engine You Have, Not the Engine You Want
Saturday March 8, 2025 1:00pm - 4:00pm EST
TBA
Building the perfect engine for your department is a challenge that many would love the opportunity to solve! Unfortunately, the opportunity is rarely afforded to the departments that operate in the rural environment. Rising apparatus costs have seen new engines easily exceed the half-a-million-dollar mark on the low end and even exceed a million dollars on the high end. Even if money was of no concern, current production times can range from two to three years. Many rural departments operate with 15, 20, or even more than 30-year-old rigs. These rigs may have been purchased new by the department, but it’s also common that they were built for another department and then purchased used by or donated to the current department. In both cases, departments are using rigs that were purpose-built for a different department/jurisdiction or built for their department’s needs 20 or more years ago. Regardless of the situation, the expectation is that we perform with the equipment we have! This class will examine the necessary equipment and the strategies to win with that equipment in the rural fire environment. Students will leave class with proven concepts they can take back to their department to enhance their fire attack and water supply efficiency and capabilities!

Techniques and strategies for dealing with these effects in a healthy and safe way are discussed. Concepts and techniques for family and friends are also covered. Lastly, resources are provided for additional assistance. The Five Pillars of wellness are described and applied to First Responders.

We do not get a “do-over” or a “reset button” because we were not ready to perform.

Often, our own self-care takes a backseat to taking care of others, completing our work responsibilities, and just making it through the day. This course reminds us that to take care of others, we must first, take care of ourselves. The various possible physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and behavioral effects are discussed. Techniques and strategies for dealing with these effects in a healthy and safe way are discussed. Concepts and techniques for family and friends are also covered. Lastly, resources are provided for additional assistance. The Five Pillars of wellness are described and applied to First Responders.

The All-Hazards Training Center at The University of Findlay has developed the Rail Car Incident Response for Crude, Ethanol, and Other Flammable Liquids training course for the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA) to educate emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazardous materials, specifically crude oil, ethanol, and other flammable liquids. As more and more rail traffic transports cargo, including hazardous materials, it is important that the responder community become educated about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying these commodities. The information covered in this training course will enhance the ability of emergency responders to assess the scene of a rail car incident, understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency situation, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the response.
