This Mayday Mindset HOT program is backed entirely by decades of real-world experience and the most up-to-date firefighter survival and proactive RIT training models available. This one-of-a-kind training program focuses entirely on providing today’s firefighters with the necessary tools to teach, learn, develop, and excel at any fire ground skill. In addition to this, Rob and his Cadre will highlight the unquestionable benefits of understanding physiology, human behavior patterns, and the effective introduction of artificial stress during firefighter training. This physically challenging class will also ensure that attendees of any rank or tenure are equipped with the most relevant, data-driven solutions available to become better instructors and firefighters. This program will be delivered in the rawest and most emotive manner possible and focuses on the premise that “If you can’t truck, you can’t RIT!”
