Dan McMaster, Alexandria (VA) Fire Department - The Senior Man And The Fire Officer

Leading a fire company can be a complicated task that requires the officer to call on every tool and resource available.  A good senior firefighter is an invaluable resource in the fire company, provided that the officer recognizes and promotes all the skills and abilities that member brings to the table.  This course will discuss the qualities of a good senior firefighter, the roles and perspectives senior firefighters can fill, and some of the failures that create conflicts between the leaders in a company.

Daniel McMaster is a 29-year veteran of the fire service, beginning his career as a volunteer with the Occoquan Woodbridge Lorton VFD in 1988.

He has an extensive background in the development and delivery of training programs related to fire operations and tactical leadership at the local, state, and national levels.


Sam Hittle, Wichita (KS) Fire Department - Forcible Entry: Wins are in the Details

Why are some forcible entry attempts efficient while others embarrassing? The answer is in the details. Setting forks, running a saw, and merely striking are not enough to ensure a win. It takes more than that. Success requires knowledge of the system being defeated, familiarity with tool potential, and understanding basic physics concepts (levers, force multipliers, torque, impulse, inertia, vectors). This class will demonstrate non-evasive and evasive methods for windows, residential and commercial doors, overhead doors, hinges, padlocks, magnetic locks, high-density commercial systems, window bars, glass block, shearing, boarded openings, and more. Techniques for the above mentioned will be shown in varying circumstances they are encountered including hand tools only, saw capabilities, single firefighter, or as a company. Numerical evidence and video will justify why details like body positioning, tool placement and alignment, striking techniques, and exploiting system flaws matter.

Samuel Hittle is a Lieutenant with Wichita Fire. He has an Associates in Fire Science, he is an FDIC, Traditions Training, and Wichita HoT Instructor, FDIC Lecturer, contributing author for Fire Engineering, Urban Firefighter, and Fire Rescue, Fire Nuggets, and FiRescue Interactive publications, is a two time Firehouse Magazine Heroism Award recipient (2012 and 2015), Kansas State Fire Marshall Tom McGaughey Award Recipient, Wichita Fire Department Firefighter of the Year, Wichita Fire Truck Company Coordinator, served on the Interior Attack Technical Panel for UL, and a member of the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) Executive Advisory Board.
