Here is the full length video for your use. 

As the weather warms up a bit, here is a training opportunity you can complete with your shift indoors. Review the videos, discuss what you have learned, and discuss where you see the different types of building construction within your response district. 

Take the time to run some pump operations drills as a shift. Utilize the Training Drill sheet and create some of your own scenarios that you may encounter. Make sure everyone is on the same page. If you're feeling up to it, maybe break our the drop tank and perform some burp drafting.

Heres a nice fire behavior brush up video. Discuss as a shift.

 

Reverse lay in and operate fire pumps efficiently. This drill should include laying a reverse lay from Engine 18 to a hydrant with Engine 17. Notice pump pressures and supply increases. 

Utilize a forward lay in and operate the pump for efficiency. 
You should practice this with 3" and 4" supply hose.

A Mayday is one of the most urgent and terrifying calls in the fire service. It is the universal distress signal that a firefighter is in immediate danger—trapped, disoriented, injured, running out of air, or facing conditions they cannot overcome alone. It is a cry for help that no firefighter ever wants to make, but it could be the difference between life and death.
When a firefighter calls a Mayday, they are trusting their brothers and sisters on the fireground to move heaven and earth to bring them home. In that moment, every second matters, and every action must be deliberate. The chaos of the fireground becomes laser-focused on one singular mission: rescue. It is an emotional reminder of how fragile our lives can be, even for those who dedicate themselves to saving others.
Training on Mayday procedures is not just about checking a box—it’s about building muscle memory, honing instincts, and preparing firefighters to act decisively in the worst-case scenario. It’s about ensuring that every firefighter knows how to give clear, concise information that their team can act on. It’s about creating a culture of safety, accountability, and trust.
The fireground is an unpredictable and unforgiving place, and conditions can change in an instant. Training for Mayday scenarios forces firefighters to confront the possibility of danger head-on and prepares them to remain calm and focused under the most extreme pressure. More importantly, it ensures that no firefighter feels alone when facing the unthinkable.
Regular Mayday training reinforces the message that every firefighter’s life is worth saving and equips the team to act swiftly and effectively when it matters most. It honors the promise we all make to one another: “We will go in together, and we will come out together.” That promise is what makes training for Mayday calls so critical—it’s not just a skill; it’s a lifeline.
