您的部门发生了什么？
Bill Carey and Bobby Halton
要说2020年是调整一年是轻描淡写的。即使在最平凡的任务中，我们也必须适应和克服。在全国范围内，准则，咨询和限制影响了我们的生活以及我们的工作方式。即使是我们的培训（从公司级训练到大型活动）也受到大流行的变化的影响。
“The pandemic has certainly changed things for everyone. One area of change affecting us is online learning. How has the pandemic changed your training and education and how do you think it will affect training and education in departments across the country?
What, in training and education, will be your department’s number one goal for 2021?”
Here is what some of our readers had to say.

尽管它不能取代对面对面培训的需求，但我们在将某些类型的培训转移到虚拟环境方面已经取得了很大的成功。
例如，我们一直在使用Zoom进行每月EMS培训和在线Fireground模拟计划，以定期进行规模，策略和战术讨论。这些使我们能够灵活对当前的大流行有关的限制，同时允许工作人员在服役时从第一会费中进行培训。
Additionally, we have recalibrated our hands-on training to be focused to maximize time and keep the trainings at the single-station level while trying to minimize cross-crew exposure routes. These drills, which we call 20s Drills (20 minutes of work, 20 minutes of clean up, 20 minutes of discussion) have proven to be very well received by the crews and have netted many more self-inspired training hours at the company level.
尽管有任何障碍，但我们2021年的主要重点是继续寻找新的方法来确保成员的运营准备。我们认为我们没有任何选择，只能弄清楚。我们归功于我们的公民和我们的成员。

While the major components of training for fire suppression, rescue, and the like must remain hands-on, there will be a continued shift to online education programs, especially for required EMS continuing education.
如果有效地完成，这将是每个人的时间和财务预算的巨大好处，但绝对关键是找到值得的教育计划。在线学习平台迫使学生听取屏幕上的Droning Voice Over阅读幻灯片的聆听与让学生简单地跳过所有内容以回答几个问题的程序一样毫无价值。
Programs should be engaging and focused on helping firefighters improve their performance in real-world situations.
Our departments number one goal for 2021 is to ensure that even with a transitions to more on-line education than ever before, we don’t take our eyes off the prize of physically skilled and capable firefighters ready to deal with real-world situations.

The FDNY actually was able to start up a Remote Tactical Team. I was lucky to be detailed there for three weeks to see how the audio-visual unit processed this. We went out to a rehabbed building and had one company a day come to it. We live-streamed the 25-30-minute walkthrough drill to companies in the field.
演习很棒，因为官员和消防员正在增加信息，我们能够展示空隙，通道导轨，公用设施轨道以及许多其他修复的物品，例如轻巧的结构，与较旧的名义木材混合在一起。我们已经从建筑物拥有者进入了建筑物和电影，然后展示了重建的发生。当时由于共同，建筑物中没有建筑工人，因此被认为可以安全地穿过。在我的时间里，我们进行了卡车公司的运营，每周我们都专注于各种物品，例如翻新和空隙，屋顶位置和外部排气位置。
Live stream drills were broadcasted to companies in the field. They used structures throughout the city to cover various types of buildings (rehabbed, H types, row frames, private dwellings, etc.) and had one unit (engine or truck) walk thru the build during the drill to point out operations, tactics, hazards and unusual conditions.
单位仍然在其他即将举行的演习and have taken sections of the broadcasted drills and made them into short training segments for companies to access on their learning system.

In both my career and volunteer departments, the number one goal for 2021 and beyond will be to keep up the due diligence, and fight complacency, regarding COVID/infectious control precautions on a regular and perhaps permanent basis. Although in both settings we’ve been successful in providing on-line lectures, we have begun to return to live / face to face classroom and hands-on skills sessions with the following precautions:
* Limiting the number of students to allow for Social Distancing (that number will vary depending on the room size and available space).
*要求所有SCBA/呼吸器不属于培训的参与者。此外，对于EMS技能，要求每个参与者都可以戴上手套。
*提供温度检查，共同筛查调查，洗手液和每个学生在签入时签名。这是在会议的开头和午餐休息后（如果适用）完成的。
*提供手圣尼特izer at each table or for each group of desks/seats (not necessarily one per desk).
* Providing inexpensive portable fans with a HEPA filter attached to the intake side, to circulate air within the classroom. We used two 20-inch box fans with 20×20 MERV-13 filters purchased at Home Depot or Walmart. Just tape filters to the back of the fan with the arrows on the filter aligned pointing towards the fan. For approximately $50.00 you have a highly effective, medically acceptable air purification system.
*如果适用，为午餐提供单独的三明治，不允许任何类型的开放式食物（盒饼干，甜甜圈等），有一位教练可以提供咖啡/茶，牛奶，牛奶，糖和瓶水等（而不是允许所有的学生都可以触摸相同的咖啡壶/牛奶容器），只允许单独包裹的小吃。当我们的IMT举办课程时，我们允许出场食品单位领导者遵循安全的食品预防措施，并限制参与者之间的交叉污染潜力，以及设施经理，负责清洁桌子/桌子/计算机每堂课之后，粉丝等，并在用完时提供必要的清洁用品和消毒剂。
Some of this may seem over complicated or overdone. However, it shows a commitment to limiting the spread of sickness and it at least gives the perception that everything is being done to protect the participants. Remember, one complacent classroom and/or instructor, could bring an immediate end to all the training of a department should one class group become sick and it is traced back to that particular learning environment. Most of these practices should have probably always been done to ensure that all members remain healthy and can keep responding to emergency calls. Like everything we do, it comes down to limiting the risks where possible.
