Fireground Injury and

2010 FIREFIGHTERS & FIRE OFFICERS
SURVIVAL PROGRAM
not…. EVERYONE Goes Home!
November 6, 2010
Lumberton, NC
Presented By:
Chief Billy Goldfeder, E.F.O., Deputy 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
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?
