This week I had the chance to chat with a good friend of mine Michael Taylor. Michael is one of the instructors in the Dixie Firemanship Cadre. Dixie Firemanship has been delivering some top notch courses around the southern US. In this video we talk about the origins of Dixie Firemanship and had a little discussion on striking tools. I hope to do more of these videos in the future so if you enjoy please comment and let us know.
Training at the Crossroads | HIGHLIGHT VIDEO
We had a great time in Corinth, MS at the 2019 Training at the Crossroads. I teamed up with the guys from Dixie Firemanship to deliver an Engine Ops course over the weekend. The event provided Engine Ops Training, Truck Ops Training, and even Hazardous Materials Training. We had a great group of attendees and I hope to see everyone again. If you’re interested in hosting an event yourself fell free to contact me or the guys at Dixie Firemanship to schedule the next Engine and Truck Ops training event.
