Training House ROAM Training

Today the big thing was ROAM training at the training house. We watched a webcast on ROAM which stands for Rules of Air Management. Pretty much explaining how in the past we use to wait way too long before exiting a building. Everyone was trained it was time to leave a building when the low
air alarm sounded. But what we need to do is already be exiting and walking out of the building just as the low air alarm sounded.

Then we went to our training house to do some training. We did some crawling around until we were running low of air, then we were going to get replaced by the next crew. During the crawling around we were searching for missing people and we were putting out pretend fire. We also had to keep track of our air and pay attention to how it is going.

I felt like I could have done a lot better. When it was all said and done I felt like I didn’t do a very good job inside of the house. I hope that with some more training I will feel better about my performance.
