"CHARGE THE LINE!"  There is much more to engine company operations than simply

"strecth hose, squirt water"...

• How far can you stretch your attack lines? 

• How quickly? 

• How many people are required? 

Our engine company classes focus on the primary mission of an aggressive interior attack: 

getting water on the seat of the fire, FAST.  If we put out the fire, all our other problems

go away.  This is not your "basic engine" class:  this is a collection of street-smart tips to

build on the skills your members already have.

We bring together experienced firefighters from a variety of respected departments -

allowing your members to learn multiple ways to solve a problem, from the perspectives

and operations of several different fire departments.
