SFT Force Entry Doodle Poll

, ,

Had a request from CPT Turner to send this out to the group. Based on the questions in the quiz it is what is in the curriculum for FF1. However, I still wanted to send it to the group for you to respond.

Good Afternoon Sir,

I am currently working on a proposal for creating a SFT forcible entry class.  I am looking to send out a brief survey to get data to see if there is an interest on developing this Statewide.  I received your email from Chris Fowler from SFT and was advised you may be able to send it out your ARTP group for their input.  Would you be able to send out this link to a google form that gathers information regarding this concept?  It should only take a few minutes of the respondents time.

The passing of Mike Wilson

, ,

I just wanted to get the word out there that we all lost a Great Man!  Mike Wilson passed away this weekend.  Mike had finished his EMS teaching career with Shasta College, was planning on finishing the build-out of the new Fire Training Facility at College of the Siskiyou’s, and was looking forward to retiring in Florida where he had recently moved his wife and family.  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

He will be missed by all!

State Fire Training has been keeping a close eye on emerging COVID restrictions statewide and wanted to extend the continued invitation for any preemptive Distance Education curriculum delivery. I will work with your program(s) to provide an expedited review of submission to alleviate some undue stress should your programs need to move to a Distance Education format.

Happy Holidays!

Good afternoon CFTDA,

I just wanted to send a note that I am amazed at what all of you do day-in and day-out for the Fire Service, CFTDA, your individual programs, and schools. The last two years have definitely been very interesting, but we kept up with the changes in the face of everything that life threw at us. Many of you had great advancements in the last two years with new or updated campuses, equipment, technology, and that is fantastic. I hope and pray that 2022 is better for all of us and I look forward to seeing all of you in the new year in March in Fresno. We are a sum of the parts, and you all play a huge part in the direction of the Fire Service. I am thankful for all of you and all of what you do every day.

Very Respectfully,

Peter Cacossa
