Our Red Shift members had the opportunity to attend the Spring Break Your Habits Conference hosted by Mid-America FOOLS OKC Metro. We took part in the fire attack portion of the conference, sharpening our skills and learning alongside some outstanding instructors and firefighters.

Training like this helps us continue to grow, improve, and better serve our community. Big thanks to Mid-America FOOLS OKC Metro for putting on a great event and investing in the fire service. We appreciate the opportunity.

Level One Staging

2nd due Engine Co. defaulting to stage on a working residential fire, is an issue that needs to be addressed.

How many working residential fires actually don’t need a second-due engine?

If it's too complicated of a fire for the first due Company Officer to be able to make a decision for the first 3 to 4 units, then what type of Incident Command training are they getting? 2 second default for IC training: Fire Attack, Search, Vent, 2nd Due Engine Booster Tank Back-Up and double the water on scene and have a FF on scene instead of at the hydrant.

How many minutes — and seconds — of delay happen because an entire crew is sitting in Level One staging instead of going to work?

57% of Maydays come from the first-due unit. Yet the second-due engine on a working residential fire defaults to stage.

This is the cookie-cutter teaching from Blue Card. Their answer for delaying thousands of second-due companies across the country?

“We just give them the default — they need to change it for their department.”

Then why teach a default that doesn’t serve civilians, firefighters, or operations?

Departments are paying tens of thousands for certification and recertification. Why not invest that time and money into building a system that works for them?
