The Nontraditional Truck Company: Coordinating Tactics
A large percentage of agencies in the United States and Canada have a deficiency in operating dedicated truck companies and have challenges accounting for all truck functions. Does this mean truck work doesn't exist? Truck company operations are essential, and these agencies need a system. This class focuses on consistently implementing coordinated tactics even with a resource deficiency and delivering all essential truck company operations associated with facilitating and supporting the coordinated fire attack and lifesaving operations. Students see how circumstances dictate action on the firegroundand that not having a dedicated truck company does not justify substandard tactics and decreased truck company operations. It is essential to implement operations in a nontraditional, aggressive manner that is an alternative to traditional frameworks. This is accomplished by identifying the essential components for the successful coordination of tactics, prioritizing function, and implementation for complete accountability.
