“S-219 Firing Operations”

Information

Dates: September 9-10th

Time: 0800-1700

Location: Kimberly, TBD

Course Description:

This course was developed using a blended approach to learning, meaning that it contains a mix of

online and instructor-led training (ILT). Students are required to complete the online training portion

of the course prior to submitting for certification. The course introduces the roles and responsibilities

of a firing boss (FIRB) and outlines duties of other personnel who may engage firing operations. The

course discusses and illustrates common firing devices and techniques. Although comprehensive in

nature, the course work is not a substitute for the dynamic fire environment. The course provides

students with important information regarding general tasks required to be successful. Any

opportunity to show students a real ignition or demonstrate the use of an actual firing device will assist

in transferring these new concepts and skills to the job. There is an optional field day outlined in the

course, it is the discretion of the delivery unit to include the field day, however, if logistically feasible

it is suggested by NWCG that a field day be conducted.

Maximum Class: 20 students

Required Gear:

o Pen and paper

Location: RCFD station 1, 1559 Main St. North, Kimberly

Borrowing a phrase from London Fire Brigade Founder James Braidwood, this class will emphasize the mastery of basic hose and fire stream management at a level that is the next step past your typical fire academy education. Join this cadre of backseat firefighters from the Boise Fire Department in basic skill drills covering getting hose from the engine to the seat of the fire, wherever it may be, and getting there with an adequate fire stream and technique to get the most efficient extinguishment possible. The class will cover short and long stretches, equipment and layout considerations, options on going vertical, and culminate with full speed single and multi-company drills. Students should expect to work up a sweat, polish up on a few skills already mastered, and walk away with a few new skills and ideas to take back to their departments, no matter what the size or staffing. Maximum Class: 25 students

Required items:

o Structure turnouts with helmet

o Structure gloves

o Leather or extrication gloves

Somewhere in between he graduated from undergraduate school and law school, passing the State Bar of Nevada in 2008. He joined the dark side of structural firefighting via the Santa Fe Fire Department in New Mexico, before his Boise-native better-half put her foot down. He now rides in the backseat of an engine on the Boise Bench, and believes his varied professional and academic background allow him special insight into what good training looks like, and every once in a while, he manages to avoid being the bad example everyone else learns from.

Ben Gira - Originally from the outskirts of Chicago, Ben migrated out West in 2009 and began his fire service career digging ditches for the Forest Service and BLM. He currently rides backwards for the Boise Fire Department. He continually strives to increase clarity on the fire ground through hard work andtraining.

"We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training" -Archilochus

Joe Lunghofer - Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Joe joined the Marine Corps in 2002. After his enlistment he worked as a government contractor for the Department of Defense. Joe then began his career with The Bureau of Land Management in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has worked for the Boise Fire Department since 2012 and is assigned to a truck company in southeast Boise.

Chris Hendershot - Chris started his career in the fire service in 1999 after he joined the Air Force and was assigned to an ARFF team. After 10 years, multiple deployments and a few structure fires, he left the Air Force and attended Boise State University and Idaho State University. After working on an ambulance long enough to figure out how not to kill someone, he was fortunate enough to be hired by Boise Fire. During the Boise Fire Recruit Academy and subsequent trainings he realized that the words ‘You don’t know that you don’t know’ are very real. Riding backwards on some of the busiest engine companies in Boise has allowed Chris the opportunity to better himself and others every tour.

Tim Raymond - Tim was raised between Chicago and Utah and started his fire service career in the Salt Lake Valley in 2010. He received a Fire Science degree from Utah Valley University and is a graduate of the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy. Tim took his backseat attitude to Boise in 2013 and has instructed at the department, county, and state levels. He is a member of Local 149, Treasure Valley Fools, and Boise Fire Nuggets. Tim enjoys spending his free time traveling...for training and fun.
