The Firefighters Support Foundation’s (FSF) newest training program is now available. Where’s the Cavalry?

Whether these initial responders arrive with apparatus or not, there are useful tasks that they can perform until additional apparatus and personnel arrive.

The program consists of a 30-minute video presentation and an accompanying 31-slide PowerPoint. The program is presented by combination department Chief Scott Alderman, a past president of the North Carolina State Firemen’s Association.

The program is free to all members of public safety and  emergency management agencies. Simply view in the player below, or click HERE for the PPT and for the video.
