Hands-on skills
Firefighter skill practice should be short enough to repeat often.
Choose one performance outcome, practice under clean conditions, then add realistic constraints only after the base skill is reliable.
Practice categories
- PPE and SCBA.
- Hose handling and nozzle movement.
- Ladders, knots and tool hoisting.
- Search, forcible-entry and Mayday skills.
- Hydrants, apparatus and pump support.
