2020 hasn’t been the best year for anybody. It has been especially hard on training and conferences. However, fires and emergencies still go on! Tactics and strategies too must still go on! I am excited to say MUFRTI Winter Fire School is scheduled for 2021 in Columbia, MO. Suburban Fire Tactics will be back! Thank you to MUFRTI for this opportunity again. I am super excited to get back inside the classrooms at the University of Missouri.

When I began writing Suburban Fire Tactics in 2011, my goal was to realistically capture the elements of the coordinated fire attack and how the majority of fire agencies across the country implement their tactics, consistently. I am excited to announce the next new delivery in this project from my publisher, Fire Engineering Books and Videos. “The Realistic Coordinated Fire Attack.” This video highlights one of my presentations that showcases the main material in this endeavor. Be on the lookout in the Fire Engineering Books and Videos bookstore.

The Unveiling of “The Nontraditional Truck Company” February 1, 2019
Posted by Jim Silvernail in Combat Ready for Suburbia.add a comment
After over a year in the making we are excited to announce the unveiling of the “The Nontraditional Truck Company” project. This project is a collaboration between Suburban Fire Tactics (Chief Jim Silvernail) and Capt. Arthur Ashley (Truckie Talk). Both collaborators have recently signed a contract with Fire Engineering Books & Videos to complete the text, “The Nontraditional Truck Company”.
The new text will be a continuation of the concepts from “Suburban Fire Tactics,” coupled with the experiences and real-life situations illustrated by a proven truck Captain. Captain Ashley provides the true-grit, attitude, and tactics that work for realistic situations.
The first classroom delivery will take place 2/2/19 at the MUFRTI Winter Fire School in Columbia, MO. The first FDIC delivery will take place on Monday, 4/8/19, @08:00.
This class is already starting to book. If you do not operate a traditional truck company or want a different perspective of how to implement truck company operations, this class is for you!
