Gentlemen,
our local association has settled on your two companies as the finalists to
provide our first annual Hot Dogs and Hydrants Training Weekend training, which
we hope will become the region’s top event. We know it will cost us a few bucks
a head, but think it will be worth bringing your experts in. If you could
provide some information on the programs you’d propose and your instructors, it
would be appreciated.

Our
kick ass hands on programs are second to none.
For your folks we’re thinking one of our heavy duty firefighter survival
classes would be helpful. Our experienced staff which includes retired captains
and lieutenants from busy departments across the country, including the requisite
FDNY officer all training companies are required to have. We’ll teach your personnel sixteen ways to
bail out of windows including the head first ladder slide with half gainer. No
one else in the industry knows these techniques. For only $450 per head it’s a
great value.
The
firefighter survival stuff is so yesterday. You need a company like ours who
can give you the latest in research based suppression. We’ll teach you how to
use drones to read the smoke and determine the fire flow path (our drones—which
we can provide to your departments for only $8500 per unit plus shipping and
handling) are painted LaFrance red and use infrared technology. Our instructors have adopted every new bit of
terminology which will enhance your student experience. For example, we’ll
teach your personnel to say “transitional attack” instead of “hit it hard from
the yard” like you have for 40 years and much more. We’ll use our ‘Hefti-house’ to model live
fire behavior at small scale in your parking lot. We even have mini firefighters and ladders. Our
program runs only $400 per student, a fantastic value.

We
know you don’t want any of that doll house crap the other guys are selling. Our
instructors are all highly experienced. Each one of them has burned up at least
three leather helmets in local burn buildings. They all have the standard large
droopy mustache or Fu Manchu; mandatory for tough firefighters.

How
about tattoos? Our guys all have at least half sleeves with flames and Maltese
crosses. Nothing says excellence in fire instruction like tattoos. By the way,
how about an occupancy based session? We
offer the only program in the country on Mosque firefighting. Our head
instructor, Captain Don “Hydrant” Outlet is highly experienced with this
occupancy having run over four automatic alarms at one. Only $350 per
head.

Our
guys and gals (we offer female instructors) have tats and mustaches. I bet there isn’t a Mosque within a hundred miles of
your area. You want specialized occupancy, can do. We do the only program in
the country on backyard gazebo fires.
Only $300 per head. Talk about a challenging building type. The flow
path characteristics are like no other.
If you get on scene before it has collapsed, our training will give you
the tactics needed for an aggressive interior attack at this tough,
challenging, building type.

Do
they teach sheds too? You want specialized and unique? We got it. Garbage trucks. These bad boys are
incredibly dangerous and require a full haz-mat assignment, particularly for
decontamination afterward. The disposable diaper residue commonly present is
highly toxic and needs careful handling and our training gives you the tools.
We’ll teach the use of CAFS for vapor suppression and will do this as an add on
to our Mosque program for only an additional $50 per head.
Gentlemen,
thanks for the information and proposals. Since our budget is only $15 per
head, after careful consideration, we’ve decided we’re just going to run a fire
police class. One of our local guys,
Charlie, will teach it if we feed him lunch.
Charlie weighs in at around 375, so lunch for him won’t be cheap. Perhaps
when our budget is bigger or somebody builds a Mosque or we have a major
increase in gazebo fires, we’ll get back in touch….
