最伟大的日常面临的挑战之一ny fire company is consistently providing training that is both practical and interesting. Compounding this issue are the time and budgetary constraints that we all must work around. Aside from the call volume and mandated training requirements, many agencies lack a training facility and/or the funding necessary to purchase realistic props and other training resources. Although these may be limiting factors, they do not, by any means, absolve anyone from conducting quality training.
The ability to adapt, improvise and overcome has always been the hallmark of the fire service. With a little ingenuity and sweat equity, anyone can put together a quality drill, regardless of your circumstances. Opportunities for learning are constantly presenting themselves if we just open up our eyes and use our imagination. Each run we take in, we are granted access to a different building. After the incident has been mitigated, seize that moment (when appropriate) to use the property as your drill-ground. Opportunistic training, while incredibly simplistic, not only addresses the aforementioned deficiencies, but typically becomes some of the most impactful.
一个好的做法是，无论呼叫类型如何，您的所有成员都会在到达时执行自己的个人规模。这样做迫使他们放慢脚步并批判性地评估周围环境。这项运动养育了一种习惯，可以极大地提高他们的情境意识 - 使他们能够在进入之前创建精神蓝图。事件完成后，讨论构造，占用类型和布局。确定访问点，楼梯间，尤其是“长走廊”的位置。2如果无法在建筑物内部放置，则（谨慎地）拍摄几张配置图片（如果适当），请在EMS垫上绘制其绘制，或者简单地将其提交为内存。回到消防站（或您可以训练的任何足够空间），并使用任何可供使用的材料重新创建它。
建造这种道具的有效且具有成本效益的方法是使用托盘。它们是免费的，易于找到的，可以轻松分解并存储以供将来使用。创建后，这些临时培训道具可用于进行各种发动机公司演习：精炼处理部署，，，，进步和操作；门控制; (pre-)entry procedures; communication; etc. The potential configurations and added variables are endless, allowing for the evolutions to be as simple or complex as you desire. Although these props may not look like much, they are highly effective, and when it comes to training, function always trumps form.
