The Leader in You
This program focuses on lower level leadership development, by discussing different ways to obtain loyalty,
trust, respect, and professional courtesy. Ideal for individuals who seek being promoted to the next level, or
maybe you have been promoted already and want to expand your leadership skills.
Understand the “parallels” between leadership in the Military and the Fire Service, and how you as a leader
can utilize them to achieve trust and confidence from your personnel. This is not a program to teach
leadership on the fire ground, it is down to the bare bones of how to get your personnel to say “how high” when
you as their leader says “jump”.
Building this foundation as a leader will enhance how your personnel react to you when on the fire ground.
Knowing our “trade” and how to lead YOUR personnel are a vital connection that should not be ignored. Not
everyone can be led the same, and it is up to you as the leader to learn that about your personnel.
This class helps open leaders eyes to the importance of having the trust and loyalty of your personnel.

Art of Keeping it Simple on the Pump Panel
Three AM at a working fire is not the time to decide what your actual friction losses are, compared to the fire
flows you are trying to achieve. Historically we have been over pumping our hoselines. Your fire flows and
friction losses are not the same as the department down the street. It is time to throw away the book, and
determine EXACTLY what your department needs to flow water.
The class will require the nozzles you wish to evaluate, and a minimum of 200 feet of the hoselines you wish to
flow. By the end of this class, you will have a practical, easy to read and apply Pump Operator chart for your
department.
NOTE: You must come to class with the fire flow in GPM that the Chief of the department is demanding for
your job.
