2026 is right around the corner. If you're looking for training ideas for your department or crew, here are my top 5 must do trainings in the first quarter of 2026.

Disclaimer on this: Some of these trainings involve props, but have no fear! A simple google search and you can find the prints to make these props yourself! Also, by having these already made, you can invite other departments/stations to train with you, specifically those that you work closely with on fire scenes.

I'm curious what your top 5 list looks like. Leave a comment or shoot us an email at DebriefwithTyler@gmail.com, or on any of our social media pages and let us know! We may just discuss your training ideas on the next episode!
