Grand Prairie Fire Department Texas This is a training course we built from scratch with materials donated by our local Home Depot distribution warehouse. This course has an add on at the end (not included) pertaining to skip breathing, regulator failures, hose coupling direction, and RIC pack connections. We put this together to show various obstacles that can be created with minimal space. It...

    Currently getting started at the local VFD. I am not going to lie, I kinda dread the obstacle course. It is going to be different that what we have here („here“ being Germany) but the principles are going to be similar. The guys who are already SCBA certified have told me that yes, it is tough but it is manageable. Just go slow, and remember that you are never alone. Here, it is always going to be a team of 2 going through the course. It is impossible to do alone because there are passages like a 10 ft long narrow tube that you have to crawl through. Unless one pushes or pulls the other, it’s not going to work. The course is also meant to teach you to trust your teammates. I was also given to understand that this course simulates every conceivable extreme situation, one after the other. And the rookies who do it for the first time will just tag along with an experienced team, while not wearing a SCBA. Later, they will carry a dummy tank and wear the mask. Only then will they get the „full immersion“ with an actual SCBA.

      I got to do my first confinement course at my school today cause they offer a fire program and man when I got to those wires and started getting caught definitely hard to keep composure for a second but I just took a deep breath and moved slow and figured what I was tangled on and how to get out of it. Absolutely amazing didn’t think I’d get to do that until fire academy

      The point of this isn’t to get hung up on technique. It’s for new guys to get comfortable moving and fitting into tight spots. Confidence is the goal. Also we recently went to new air packs with larger bottles so it was nice to recalibrate our minds and get familiar with the new setup.
