Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them.
Stay Safe Fire Family & Stay DTFF!

E107 - Firefighter Practical Exam - Breakdown
We go through our Firefighter Practical Exam and break it down step by step and follow each point up with the importance of why!
WHO WE ARE
As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.
WHAT WE DO
We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!

Customer Reviews
Great show
Fantastic work boys, a great resource for both ff and the general public.
Quality needs work
The content is not bad but the sound sucks. Some of the guys are too quiet to hear sometimes and there are often too many speaking at once so you cannot follow. Glad your having a good time, but the laughter could be a bit quieter.
Makes it really hard to listen too while driving or with ear buds in.
