The need for safe firefighter training must be balanced with sufficient challenge to prepare firefighters for the unpredictable nature of the fire ground of the future. Training must not be so controlled as to give firefighters a false sense of security, nor can it disregard established safety procedures for the sake of increased realism.

To maintain an effective cadre of firefighters and officers, the fire service must find new and dynamic ways to train personnel to act in a safe, decisive manner that best supports the fire service’s mission to protect lives, property, and the environment.

future generation of firefighters

Capital assets and modernization of training should be into the Department’s Strategic Plan

Fire Chiefs must constantly challenge themselves by asking: How are they preparing the future generation of firefighters to meet the challenges of tomorrow?

Capital investment and modernization of training should be thoroughly interweaved into the Department’s Strategic Plan. Balancing safety and realism, while operating under the restraints of a limited budget. 

That’s why they at Darley Defense partner with the most innovative firms in the world, in order to find ways to maximize the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of training.
