SUMMARY:Nozzle Forward – Kananaskis Improvement District
DESCRIPTION:This course is available to members of recognized emergency services organizations. This course is being delivered at the Kananaskis Emergency Services Centre On August 27 & 28\, 2025 (more dates may be added subject to demand). \nAaron Fields: “The one thing that every fire department in the country has is a fire hose. The one event that happens on every single fire is a hose line gets pulled\, and water gets flowed. The Nozzle Forward is a class for engine company crews. It is not a collection of technique; it is an adaptable system of hose line management and fire attack. It is focused on fighting fire\, interior offensive firefighting\, and aggressive firefighting\, for which we will never apologize. Aggressive firefighting is not the problem; it is the solution. \nFor today’s nozzle-person\, the art of hose and fire suppression often has been obscured and put to the side in favour of other “hot topic” training. How to attack fire and move the line has been ignored and forgotten by many engine companies. It is the ongoing development of an in-depth study of all things engines. It is not a “what if” class; it is a program designed to ingrain the nozzle team in making the right choice and accomplishing whatever task is necessary for a successful interior attack. It is not a theory; it is proven on fire grounds around the country. Adapted from a variety of sources but reconstructed to be based on simple principles that maximize mechanical advantage. \nThe class answers the “whys\,” not just the “what’s\,” and quickly creates a system that can be adapted to fit any engine company from the urban to the rural. The goal of the “The Nozzle Forward” is to help craft more efficient Engine Companies by increasing the individuals’ competency with their tools and expanding on the conceptual aspects of the fire environment. The course will integrate the three major components of engine company work; fire behavior\, hose management\, and fire attack. The class is 22 hours with the morning of day one being a lecture. Now let’s go do good work… VADO CANIS VADO” \nPrerequisites: None — A 50% deposit is required to reserve a seat in the course. \nDeposits are non-refundable if cancelled within two weeks of the start date. \nDATES: August 27 & 28\, 2025 \nFor Full course information and registration\, please use the following links: \nFlyer_NozzleForward_KES_Aug2025 (Jan20) \nNozzle Forward Course Application

Tim Dietz and a first-hand account of behavioural health issues faced by firefighters. \nTim retired after 30 years in the fire service and is the Founder/CEO of Behavioral Wellness Resources\, a consulting/counselling firm catering to emergency response organizations’ and individuals’ behavioural wellness needs. He is an internationally known speaker on human emotional crisis\, grief\, and staying mentally healthy in the emergency service professions. He is the author of the book “Scenes of Compassion.” A Responder’s Guide for Dealing with Emergency Scene Emotional Crisis and Managing a Fire Company w/ John Brunacini . He has also written several published articles addressing behavioural health issues in the fire service. Tim is the Clinical Director for the Oregon Satellite of the West Coast Post-Trauma Retreat\, a residential treatment facility for first responders suffering from PTSD\, and he was the clinical advisor to the U.S. Coast Guard’s mental health response following hurricanes Katrina and Rita and to the stress management team at the Oso\, Washington mudslide. In 2017\, Tim received the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation’s “Pioneering Spirit” Award as an “Industry Pioneer” for his programs on emergency scene crisis control and compassion. Creating the Culture for Behavioral Health in the Fire Service is a course on behavioural health in the fire service taught by a person who spent 30 years working in the fire service and is now a clinician treating stress (mental health) injuries in first responders. This training focuses on enhancing resiliency – or how quickly we rebound from stress – in people whose occupation requires continual exposure to stressful situations. \nThis in-person event is your chance to enhance your skills\, further your career\, and support the Strathcona County Firefighters Honour Guard\, who honour fallen fire\, police\, and EMS personnel across North America. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
