Course Description

Truck Company Tactics: Outside Operations is an intensive, hands-on program designed for firefighters who want to sharpen the critical skills required of modern truck companies operating in high-risk environments. Through realistic drills, live problem-solving, and scenario-based training, participants will develop the mindset, techniques, and decision-making abilities needed to support fire attack, perform targeted life-saving operations, and execute truck company responsibilities with confidence.

Over two days of practical training, students will focus on ground ladder operations, Vent-Enter-Isolate-Search (VEIS) tactics, roof operations, vertical ventilation, and fireground tool proficiency. Emphasis is placed on performing calculated, mission-driven actions that prioritize life safety while operating effectively under pressure.
