On the podcast this week:
We start off by recapping some current events (at the time we recorded this in February), including the large car pile-up in Texas.
Then, we get on to our main topic & go over Taylor's experience at the 2021 Les Lukert Conference in Kearney, Nebraska. Put on by the NSFSI (Nebraska Society of Fire Service Instructors), this conference is geared towards training & leadership and held every year at the beginning of February in Kearney. The NSFSI brings in national level instructors (including Mike Dugan, Jim Duffy, Billy Greenwood, Mark VonAppen, David Mellen, Jake Hoffman, Brandon Fletcher - just to name a few) to this amazing, small conference.
Some of our favorite aspects of this conference is how small it is, the welcoming atmosphere, & the true 1-on-1 culture that comes with that.
This year, Taylor took 4 classes - and we touch on the highlights of each one:
HOT class - Fireground Fundamentals with Jake Hoffman & Squad 5 Training
Classroom - Just Culture for the Fire Service with David Mellen of Valor Fire Training
Classroom - Fully Involved with Mark VonAppen
Classroom - Shaping your Vol. Fire Department to Fit Today's Expectations by Brandon Fletcher
Go ahead and put the 2022 Les Lukert conference on your schedule now! Contact us for more information on the conference.
