Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
I am currently out of town in Richmond (VA) at the Virginia Fire Officer Academy. The week long class is a very structured academy that teaches moving from the backseat to the right hand seat. I look forward to learning a great bit this week. Captain Wines will be out of town as well. He is heading to New York State for a Fireman’s Convention on Wednesday. I don’t know where it is, but he will be there!
The VFOA began in 2007. This year is the first year they are doing back-to-back weeks of it. 80 graduates will join the previous 280 who have graduated since its inception.
Due to my attendance, there will be limited posting here on FireCritic.com. I will do my best to update The Fire Critic Facebook Page as time allows. I have plenty of content to post under “Mutual Aid Question from a Brother”. Those questions keep coming in and I will schedule them to post throughout the week as time allows.
For more information on the VFOA check out:
If you are in the area, everyone is invited to this open night at the academy with DC Michael Barakey from Virginia Beach on Wednesday night.
