Where firefighters come to talk training
PASS Assisted MAYDAY
Check out and Sign up for Tactical Building blocks group.
Mayday calls keep getting lost in normal radio traffic. This method serves as the emergency tone to clear all radio traffic. We have found that firefighters that are trained in this method are more likely to activate their PASS after their Mayday as well. This method will get attention. Yes the PASS has been relegated to a car alarm in many departments. This must be stop. However firefighters are not accustom to hearing it on the radio. We train using the modified LUNAR report which includes assignment and air supply. For the firefighter that forgets to activate their PASS at the start of the MAYDAY dispatch will signal an emergency tone. Check out and Sign up for Tactical Building blocks group.

Thanks Wayne,
On this prop we prompt that conditions are getting bad so the firefighter will crawl quicker while looking for a door or window. They do not know that there will be a drop. We use to have them crawl but they would feel the weakend floor and would stop.

- Many physiologists agree that training with some form of artificial stress has numerous benefits. The belief is based on the military’s survival training and will help firefighters to focus on their training when all goes wrong.
