Another good week of TIC training. Minds opened, conversations started, and hopefully paradigms changing to utilize TIC more efficiently.

Tonights reading quote: “the people who are the most certain about being right tend to be the people with the least reason to have such self-confidence.” 😏author had to have been a fireman at some point to tell it like it is in such a poetic way! 🙌🏻😬

Know the distance limitations of your particular camera. Scan wall to wall from low to high, find your point of interest or priority area, then put the TIC down and go hands on.

Morning truck ✅: Portable battery, SCBA, gas meters… Don’t forget the TIC battery. It could have grave consequences.

Chiefs- instead of always griping about Gen Z’s questions or attitudes, use their ability. These 2 just showed the old dog a new trick for saving videos to use for future training sessions. Had no clue my phone had that capability 🤷🏼‍♂️

36 years and about 2,000 structure fires. Not a bad run Cap. You can’t teach the power of non verbal communication between a Chief and seasoned vet that signals both gravity of situation and game plan with just a look-it just happens. IYKYK 👊🏻 Well done and congratulations.
