Combat Ready Fire Training

Real fireground-proven skills, strategies and tactics that help you and your members achieve a higher level of firefighting while igniting passion for the job.

 

Combat Ready Fire Training Programs

At Combat Ready Fire Training, our core beliefs about readiness, excellence and our duty to others are the foundation of all of our programs. We believe strongly in providing real world, street smart, actionable skills, strategies and tactics that are rooted in actual fireground experience.

Though each program may have applications more to one rank than another (firefighter, company officer, or chief officer) – members of all ranks, and the department as a whole, will benefit from all members attending these programs. Doing so provides both a “top down” and “bottom up” understanding of the system and each other’s jobs.

NEW Aggressive Command 10-Week Online Training Cohort

The next cohort class begins in Spring 2024!

Join the next Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting training cohort starting APRIL 8th.  This interactive cohort-style online training for incident command has been an extremely valuable experience for our students (and for us). We are excited to announce that the next cohort class is starting THIS SPRING. 

The Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting program will give ICs a step-by-step process that is based on fireground proven, repeatable command practices and is delivered in a practical, engaging manner. Delivered over 10 weeks in a cohort-style online group training program, this is the ideal solution for departments and individuals with limited access to in-person training.  It is as close to in-person as you can get while being able to access the training from anywhere.

This is a phenomenal course. As a newer firefighter, it has given me ideas and goals to work towards in an effort to improve my performance on the job, but also that of my colleagues. It is simple, straight forward advice that I believe can easily gain buy in from most fellow firefighters that have a passion for this career.

Great for new officers and up incoming officers. Acting officers should be required to take a course like this.
Michael Denelsbeck
First Alarm Strategy & Tactics
This course really re-invigorated my passion for the job a couple of years ago when I saw Nick live in Freeport. I was excited to bring this back to our department and due to the significant changes it would represent, I knew we needed everyone to see and hear Nick for themselves. It's great to hear firefighters, company officers and chiefs discussing these topics and ideas and working on how some implementation challenges might be addressed.

very good. I was skeptical about the ppt style class. But I was happily proven wrong.

Gregory Sowl
Incredible training. Every firefighter should be take this course. It is motivational, eye opening, and exactly on point. Thank you.
Tim Lambert
It's easy to fall into the same habits while running a call, and you give the perspective of someone who has been there and learned from it. You truly don't know what you're rolling up to on a call and being prepared can make the difference in saving a life.
Kyra Gilkey
Great info.
Chad Herdt
Great way to kick off the mindset for becoming Combat Ready, I look forward to the other programs you have available that we have planned for our department.
Robert Martin
Message was really good. May help in future, and this is my only course so far, to have another person or 2 give some perspective. Even if it's only for a short video or 2, just to have different perspectives. Enjoyed it very much. Will be ordering another when I get paid again, thank you, much to take off this training.
Kevin Lewis
This was a very eye opening class. I am sure to take this further within our department! Finally someone else that says what I've been feeling! Thank you.
Dakota Davis
Thanks Nick, very well organized and informative program
James Courtice
Great material!
Michael Alvarado
This course was exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to get my company out of a long slump of complacency and laziness and Chief Nick Martin just hit a home run with this course. I definitely recommend this course to anybody who is looking to change their mindset into a combat ready mindset.
Matthew Villalon
Absolutely loved the content and the message your putting forth. I think something like this has been a long time coming and a necessity unfortunately with the culture shift that is taking place in the Fire Service today. Trying the implement this mindset in our department will be an uphill battle but as with most things in life, nothing worth fighting for is going to come easily.
Chris Porter
Great course to get impassioned again by the fire service
Tracy Jocque
What you've talked about is right up my alley. No matter what level of experience you have in the Fire Service, you can always make an incremental improvement or change in yourself that makes you a better firefighter or officer, or helps us do the job better.As a Training Officer, I've followed the mantra of "To Serve, To Train and To Pass It On". You've reinforced this for me, and given me more constructive angles to incorporate in myself and my training programs..
Charles Hamilton
Great job. Love the passion, appreciate the honesty. Anyone who says they haven't made mistakes just hasn't been around long enough to. 1-0 might be a perfect record, but it's also just one win (and probably a lucky one). Making mistakes is human but not learning from them is inexcusable.
Matt Alexander
This is a must MUST watch.
