Risk Management Programs & Training Program Design

Firefighting today is a highly complex and risk-laden operation. We have taken on new and more challenging roles than our forefathers ever imagined. The traditional role of firefighter has evolved from the fire watch and prevention volunteer to the active and highly trained firefighter of today. The fire service has struggled to change with the times while remaining true to our long-time traditions.

This is our great challenge: how to honor the traditional instincts that our forefathers had as firefighters and still move forward with the new technologies that complicate our tasks.

Training: Innovative, Instinctual, Realistic

Tradition meets innovation. These words are the basis of The Vision One Group training programs. Only through the development of firefighters' instincts can we achieve the right balance between knowledge and applied skill. With training that develops the right instincts about when, where, and how to use new technologies, we produce the most highly trained and competent firefighter.

Risk Management Programs
The core of any risk management program is the ability to predict the future. By the analysis of past data we can effectively predict the future. With proper application of the data, we set about training to reduce the likelihood of negative consequences.
