104 “Bread & Butter” Boot CampEvery fire department is being challenged to do more with less. This often puts firefighters into dangerous situations. We often ask, what training can be done to enable us to meet our challenges? Surely training can be a key to our safety, but where should we start? The answer is to start at the beginning. Start with your “Bread and Butter.” This 3-day, high impact, high energy “Bread & Butter” program, will NOT be your typical class! Rather this class will focus on those fundamental skills and aspects utilized on the fire ground that are not mastered or never employed. This INTENSE training program will provide participants with both classroom and realistic hands-on learning through training-in-context and scenario based training, some under live fire conditions, enhancing personal proficiency and reinforcing those skills required on today’s modern fire ground. This program will be packed with those critical elements employed on the fire ground. From learning new to reinforcing old, this program will consist of but not limited to: engine company operations - selection, stretching, advancing, and flowing hand lines, ladder company operations - search procedures, ventilation techniques, forcible entry, and laddering, “smoke diver” - mask confidence, air consumption/management, and breathing discipline, and many other fundamental aspects/skills related to today’s firefighter. This class has been designed to teach any firefighter, new or seasoned, those critical “Bread & Butter” skills used day in and day out on the fire ground. Don’t miss out! - Students must bring their own turnout gear, SCBA, and spare cylinder. All equipment must be NFPA compliant.- Students must meet all requirements established by OSHA, NFPA, and Kentucky State Fire Commission for live fire training evolutions.- Because this course is physically demanding, participants should be in adequate physical condition.- This program was developed taking into consideration today’s realistic staffing and the standard fire fighting tools and equipment

used on the fire ground.
