The fire service operates on best practices backed by science. Scott Feather at Fire-Rescue 2023 is presenting Training Today for Tomorrow’s Fireground, a lecture focused on how to embrace the fire service culture while using science and technology to our advantage. Attendees will look at initial instructions of new members to training the current staff. This course is for anyone with a passion for the fire service, a desire to pass on the traditions started long before us, all while encouraging educated and aggressive firefighters.
