Thoughts from Jeff

Thank you to all who have posted and are currently visiting our site. As Jimm has posted, the site is undergoing some major renovations at this time. Some of the plans that we have for VentEnterSearch.com are to keep ongoing series of articles that will give ideals, suggestions as will as insightful information on all aspects of Truck Company operations. This site is being developed as not only a learning resource but also a place to discuss the many facets of truck work as well as special operations, which have become some of the many responsibilities of our operations. We plan to post on many various topics, which will include building construction, SOG’s, ventilation, forcible entry, search and rescue techniques and much more. We will include pictorials and examples of discussion topics to give you more of a visual understanding of the discussions. Some of the new areas we intend to have will include newly posted articles as well as an archive section to refresh on the many previous issues as well as current discussion topics and forums. In the long term we intend on publishing a newsletter that will be mailed to individuals as well as departments to continue to impress the importance of training as well as sound tactics to make safe and effective tactical operations. In many parts of the country the art of Truck Company operations are fading fast and it is our hopes here at VentEnterSearch.com to continue to provide the essential training as well as provide a path for allowing readers to pass on their years of knowledge and recommendations to keep this art from becoming extinct. We also hope that our site will become a path for not only these seasoned veterans but also the newest members of our profession. We have many talented individuals that have operated many years on truck companies through out all concepts and operations that will have many insightful articles from which we will expand upon. Once again thanks to all and keep checking back as there are many great things to come. –Jeff-

    Rusty and Gio,
    Thank you for the compliments and support. I hope that this is a way that some of our younger firemen can make not only a connection but also another method of training and receiving different views of some of the more seasoned firemen, hint hint. Please continue to spread the word to other firemen as well as post, as this is how our connections are made. Hopefully we can further promote training and the effectiveness of sound tactical truck company operations to those who believe that truck companies are only a high flow suppression rig when we lose the structure due to inadequate tactics and training.Jeff Ponds
