ACTIVITY ASSIGNMENTS – September 23, 2012- November 3, 2012

Leader’s intent (What, Why, and How):

This month we will continue with communication readiness training.  Be ready for radio quick drills to test knowledge base and ability to use communication equipment.  Upcoming drills will be based on a six week module training schedule. The El Dorado County (EDC) Fire Volunteers will be shifting their training nights to Monday and potentially training with us starting in the near future. We also will be able to offer more multi-company evolutions for volunteers. Some Monday night trainings will even be at other EDC Fire station locations.

  1. What skills or tactics do you feel strong in?
  2. What skills or tactics do you feel weak in?
  3. What medical skills would you like to practice or train on?
  4. Are you ready to operate an engine?
  5. Any additional input.
