Chief BILLY GOLDFEDER is coming to Warwick, NY!

RSVP PLEASE!!! To Chief John Rader at GLFDCHIEF@YAHOO.COM

Fireground Injury and Death: not…. EVERYONE Goes Home!
2012 Fire Officers & Fire Fighters SURVIVAL PROGRAM
Presented By:

Chief Billy Goldfeder, E.F.O., Deputy Fire Chief of the Loveland-Symmes FD, Associate/Contributing Editor for FIRE ENGINEERING, FIRE-RESCUE, FIREHOUSE, FIREHOUSE.COM, monthly columnist: Firehouse Magazine's "CLOSE CALLS" and co-host of www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com

Chief Billy Goldfeder will present to the attendees, through video, audio and "WAKE UP" lecture, an in-depth review of specific and very recent and timely (updated annually) fireground events with a strong focus on DWELLING FIRES-that ended with tragic results. The program focuses specifically on the LESSONS LEARNED so that these incidents (and those involved) don't ever become forgotten. This very personal, high energy direct and frank program (updated regularly to assure timeliness) is professionally and respectfully presented, providing the attendees an excellent opportunity to apply the LESSONS LEARNED to their own departments…and themselves, when returning home...potentially avoiding "history tragically repeating itself.

The goal of the program is to have the Firefighters and Officers leave more knowledgeable, educated and informed but most importantly THINKING HARD about their role and their department's responsibility in FIRE and RESCUE operations: to themselves and their families. These "LESSONS LEARNED" and related CASE STUDIES will help insure that similar problems are not repeated again-at YOUR DEPARTMENT.

EVERYONE GOES HOME? Some firefighters do and some don’t…this seminar will help you understand WHY...and why it is so important to think about: Who is in YOUR wallet?
