Recently, members of the Sullivan (MO) Fire Protection District discussed training ideas at the firehouse. The topic eventually turned to training concerns that we felt had either not been addressed in a long time or were new and never before presented to many of our members. Out of all our concerns, the training issues that stood out the most to us were the cost and quality of Mayday training.
Like many volunteer and combination departments across the country, we must be very careful about where we spend our money. For our size, we do pretty well with our training budget, and we are fortunate to have a board of directors that realizes training is paramount; in the few years that we ran over budget on a particular line item, the board found ways to move some more money into that item. That extra effort from our board makes us even more frugal, especially early in the budget year, when we conducted this training.
