i need help with my homework
FIR 2302 UNIT IV DISCUSSION BOARD QUESTION
Review the National Professional Development Model here or in the textbook (Figure 5.15 on page 119). How do the requirements for your department or one in your area compare to the model? Education and experience are both important; what improvements would you like to see in your department’s requirements? What is missing? Why?
I have comment on m classmates post this is what they wrote
After reviewing the National Professional Development Model I see that my department follow this model closely. In our department we encourage that all members take the initiative to be properly trained and certified so that they can advance in the fire service. Having both the education and experience goes hand and hand in the fire service. One without the other leaves you incomplete as a firefighter. In our department, I think we need to have more training classes scheduled to help with the learning process for each individual rank. We currently follow what ISO state we need for points but we can do better. Our training department is great. If they had more manpower teaching more classes and instituting more available training could help with the development process. I personally think that each individual should take advantage of all types of training whether it be in a classroom setting, field training or on-line training. It will ultimately benefit them in there career, the department that the work for and the citizens will benefit from the level of training they receive.
