Building an Apparatus to Do Work
July 21, 2022 | 1 PM EDT
This Webcast will go through the process and design of an apparatus that is ready to go to work. The cost of apparatus today demands that departments get the most for their money and that the rig can do the job for the community and firefighters it will serve. The engineering of rigs should always be driven by the firefighters who ride it, with a balance of mechanical needs to ensure reliable performance. This Webcast will help guide you through the design, engineering, and final delivery of your apparatus.

This Webcast will teach students to critically evaluate their situation, select the appropriate leadership strategies and tactics, and drive the intended outcome. It provides a leadership roadmap to enhance your likelihood of success both on and off the fireground. Because there is no substitute for wisdom—gained only through experience—it is the responsibility of senior leadership to pass on those lessons to the new/aspiring officers to prepare them for what lies ahead so they don’t have to learn them the hard way.
