Being a volunteer …
Being a volunteer FF has nothing to do with being capable or not. There are just as many career FDs that are not capable. It’s a matter of awareness, willingness, and the understanding that it takes continuious and quality training to maintain the skills needed to respond to these emergencies. These videos are a GREAT resource!!! I will be using these videos in my training programs.

not trained, or …
not trained, or equipped - that is unexcusable. No wonder people question the capability of volunteer fire departments. I was paid for 20.5 years, now a volunteer chief for 13 (run a fire school in OR). Thank you the the CSB for these films.
Stick your fingers in your ears, and wait for the big boom, what kind of training is that?
