Being the training officer for Joe Rich Volunteer FD in B.C., I found it difficult to juggle family, a job and life while having to research, study and prepare 40-some-odd training sessions a year. I approached Jim Hailey, then editor of Fire Fighting in Canada, with the idea of providing help to the nation’s volunteer training officers through the magazine. He agreed to give it a shot, and Trainer’s Corner was birthed. My first column was “Communications”. I had no idea that one column would turn into over 100 contributions and multiple invitations to instruct in person.

New recruits joining the department go through a comprehensive physical exam that includes extensive blood work. Veteran firefighters will visit me every two years to run new blood work data to compare old values with new blood work values. This is an ongoing process for our firefighters. By Elias Markou
