  • Knowing every compartment and its contents, every tool and its uses
  • Assigning and reviewing tasks by seat position

    Thanks Mr Soler for the insightful show, new firefighters really need to know their initial roles and that of others to ensure coordination, this is achieved by team briefing. Situational drills and knowledge of equipment are also key to getting new firefighters up to speed. New firefighters also need to be inquisitive and continue researching.
