About Us

Duty, Pride, Tradition, Training and Consulting

Across the country firefighters and Fire Departments are being asked to do more with less. We believe that down and dirty hands-on training is the only way to get better at all the things you are required to do daily. With over 200 years of combined time in volunteer, paid on call, combination and paid professional departments our leads have been at the forefront of providing training locally, regionally, statewide and at the national level as training officers, we know what you are up against, and we are here to help you. Most flash to bang companies require fat retainers to appear or even speak with you, not us.

Duty

A moral or legal obligation, a responsibility.

Pride

A feeling of deep pleasure derived from the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated.

Tradition

The transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on this way.

Our Mission:

We will provide fact based, collaborative, cost-effective, hands-on training to improve your operational outcomes based upon Duty, Pride and Tradition.

Our Mission:

We will provide fact based, collaborative, cost-effective, hands-on training to improve your operational outcomes based upon Duty, Pride and Tradition.

The Fire Service is considered a trade and trade secrets should be shared, practiced and emulated daily for an honest wage. Large speaking fees to listen to outdated war stories that don’t fit your manning, region or daily duties are disingenuous at best to the trade.

We can tailor training to meet your reality and allow you to share what someone taught us.

Our consulting team has planned built and executed some of the largest combined multi-day training events in the history of the State of Illinois and served as Incident Commanders and Operational Chiefs at national events involving thousands of citizens we have sworn to protect.

We know that no one has all the answers, but we coordinate with like minded training organizations to provide cutting edge, no-nonsense cost-effective solutions to your issues.
