Class Descriptions

Grab Factory

“The Grab Factory” is a primary search–driven class that encompasses all facets of truck work before, during, and after making the grab. From pulling up and sizing up the building, to forcing or creating access, conducting the search, and removing victims—this class covers it all. Primary search can produce multiple victims, and sharp, disciplined technique is critical. This is a fast-paced, skills-to-scenarios format built on one mindset: no one else is coming—it’s on us.

Live Fire Engine

Our renowned Engine Company class focuses on perfecting the stretch, improving advancement, and reinforcing the fundamentals of a professional engine company. New for 2026—everything is performed under live fire conditions. Students will operate in realistic scenarios emphasizing stretching, advancing, and extinguishment under pressure.

Live Fire Truck

Live Fire Truck classes focus on size-up for search, searching ahead of the line, and making the grab. Emphasis is placed on aggressive truck company operations, positioning, and coordination with engine companies in live fire environments.

It Gets Worse Inside — Live Fire Search

This class places firefighters in realistic search environments that don’t match what you see from the exterior. Under live fire conditions, students navigate cluttered, obstructed interiors, adapt their tactics, and push through deteriorating conditions to locate both fire and victims.

Mayday Mindset HOT

Backed by decades of real-world experience and modern firefighter survival and proactive RIT training, this program is built to develop complete firefighters and instructors. Students will gain tools to teach, learn, and perform under stress, while understanding physiology, human behavior, and the role of stress inoculation in training. This physically demanding class is delivered in a raw, high-intensity format and reinforces the mindset: “If you can’t truck, you can’t RIT.”

1st & Ten Engine

Focused on winning the first ten minutes, this class builds the mindset and skillset needed to set your company up for success from arrival. Through multiple scenario-based evolutions, firefighters will improve decision-making, positioning, and execution on the fireground.

Truck Tips & Tricks

Led by one of the best truck company firefighters in the job, Mike Ciampo, this class delivers proven techniques, tips, and skills to elevate your performance as a truck firefighter. Expect practical, experience-driven instruction you can immediately apply on the fireground.
