                                                   Background Information
I'm a fire service instructor with the local mutual aid association. I'm a member of the only career department in the association. The majority of the firefighters we teach are volunteers.Some of us instructors use the internet to search for ideas and information we can use in our classes. That is why I started this site, so that other instructors can have a place to turn to for help. Most of it will come in the form of links to training sites I have found useful. I may post a training outline or training ideas on occassion.
