About this ebook
In the fire service, the probability of you spending a third of your life inside the confines of the firehouse is high. What you do during that time is what will ultimately make you a better asset on the fireground. Within those walls, there are a plethora of opportunities to take advantage of the downtime to increase your overall human capital knowledge through training.
Implementing a "chapter" from this book each week around the table while interacting with your crew is a great informal approach to introducing a different trick of the trade that can be pulled from the back of your mind at a later time to help mitigate a call for service and lead to a successful and positive end result.
While these Coffee Table Quick Tips are a simple form of tabletop discussion, each can easily progress into a hands-on approach following the discussion and review of each "chapter."
It is not just a firehouse; it is a constant classroom full of officers and firefighters with a wealth of knowledge to share. Attend each shift or tour with the mindset of continuously working to become the best version of yourself.
Training is a lifelong journey for firefighters. It should never end.
--Frank Leeb (Deputy Assistant Chief, FDNY)

My experiences include being a volunteer and career firefighter, a company officer, and the chief of a department.
During my tenure, like many of my peers and mentors, I became a fire service instructor. This role afforded a wide array of opportunities for me as an instructor, and it soon became clear that this was the avenue
