This topic is a spin off of another thread we have going.
As rescuers we have a lot on our plates in the way of training. Trench, Con Space, Technical Rope, MVX, Structural Collapse Shoring, Wilderness Rescue......
Is it our responsibility to keep up with the training requirements or is it our departments? Does training end when we leave our firehouses?
I have always been one to constantly want to better myself...bring something more to the table. So....I constantly train outside of work. Some is with other agencies I belong to but a lot is on my own. Training breeds confidence and confidence creates success. I pass that on to my students and live by it everyday. Everybody has a different opinion on things, that's what makes these forums great. What are your thoughts on this topic? Thanks TRT24 for the thread idea.
