Our experience
For the past 25 years, we have supported over a hundred exercises and incidents of significance at the Type 1, 2 and 3 levels, most typically wildland fire, but also including numerous all-hazards events as well. Our approach is based on actual, real world experience. As line officers, we experience what you experience on a day-to-day basis, so we know what's real and what's not, what’s practical and what’s B.S.
“First Responder Communications has made an amazing difference in our organization over the past 7 years. I was skeptical that first year, but looking back I can see the performance gains made every year with Mark’s guidance on what matters.
Today I can say that we’ve internalized his training and coaching. I get pretty excited when I see a 20-year veteran sharing a training point with a rookie...and I know it was an issue that Mark first introduced for our benefit.”
