Learning about firefighting is important because you never know when you might need those skills. For full-time, part-time, or volunteer firefighters, watching videos like this helps build knowledge and understanding. I do some on-call, part-time firefighting, and while you can’t make every call because of other commitments, it’s still important to keep training. I plan on doing more soon, and in the meantime, I keep watching and learning—because that’s how we improve.
We also have some younger people joining, so it’s valuable to pass that knowledge along. Everyone brings their own strengths based on what they’ve read, trained on, and practiced, and building a shared base of knowledge makes the whole group stronger. Our crew works well together.
In this video, I really liked the way they moved the hoses with their leg—tucking and pulling them forward is something I definitely want to try. Their forced-entry techniques were also impressive.
If you’re interested in donating to a firefighting department in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that serves several rural communities and continues to grow despite national trends, feel free to send me a message. I’d be happy to connect you with the right people who can accept tax-deductible donations for equipment, training, and other needs.
