Fire Training

I have concluded that I will be doing my research on how training can be beneficial in the fire department. The question that keeps reoccurring in the fire department is how does training in the fire world help develop a fire department to become safer and more acknowledgeable as a whole. Being in my firefighter one class has allowed this idea to develop, where the instructors’ of the class are constantly harping on how you can never have to much training. From the research I will be performing, I hope to develop a great knowledge and understand the training and the effectiveness that it has. Training in the fire department can often make a difference between going home or getting seriously injured, especially when a person responds to a call. Whether it be a simple fire alarm or the worst case scenario, a working structure fire they all pose different threats to firefighters. Training does not hurt a department or organization, but can help to develop the people within the program.

While being very interested in the subject I am researching, I anticipate that the research will still be a very vigorous assignment. The researching aspect of this assignment will be a grueling task, since I will be finding scholarly journals for such a narrow subject can be very time consuming and strenuous. The research I believe will help benefit and give me a greater knowledge of why training is as important as it is in the fire department. The research will help dig deeper into where training was not applied and something went wrong, than training was applied to help correct or solve the problem.

Training has been an issue in the fire department and it is often not implemented as much as it should be. This issue can pose many threats since there may be many times where a firefighter may be assigned a task where they may not be trained. Having this issue can not only put the people in harms way,...
