Two Classes
#1 Cruel Intentions:
Fires are growing and extending faster in the modern age than they ever have before. We must ensure that as a nozzleman we can think and act as an independent operator. This class is a deep dive into understanding the goals of the first engine due, how to operate independently on the nozzle, and attack the fire with cruel intentions.
#2 The Stretch:
Covers the ins and outs of making and drilling on the stretch. Leader lines, bundles, loading and deploying the flat load off the transverse, 2.5 deployment for blitz, and line choice.
