"Vigilant Firefighter Training" - Business Spotlight

Kevin & Sully sat down with Vigilant Fire Training CEO Todd
Smith. Todd is a seasoned Lieutenant with over 25 years of
experience in the fire service. He created his company to give
firefighters and fire departments an option when it comes to
creating a custom training outline for fire departments. These
training outlines relieve some of the stress that comes with
creating, implementing and documenting training.

Todd says, "Our primary goal at Vigilant is to provide your agency
training officer with the necessary tools to produce firefighters
who are trained to mitigate any given emergency in an effective,
efficient and safe manner."

Vigilant Fire Training Mission -
At Vigilant we understand the hard work and the dedication it
requires to create and maintain a great fire service training
program. We also understand that today's environment requires more
time and effort of the training officer than ever before. We
understand, because this is exactly what our staff has done for the
past 20 plus years. Our goal at Vigilant is to allow the training
officer to focus on the delivery of training, rather than focusing
their time and effort trying to meet ever changing requirements. We
truly want every fire department in the nation to have a successful
training program that creates a learning environment that is both
enthusiastic and exciting.

In our eyes a great training program is one that sparks passion,
self motivates and creates an atmosphere where one is eager to
learn and committed to continuing education. We understand that a
great training program does not happen by accident. It requires
hours of research, planning and development long before the
execution process can take place. Furthermore, great training
programs need to be based on proven methodology, strong curriculum
and a principled evaluation process.

Developing training programs of this caliber can be a daunting,
time consuming task. Vigilant has the solution for your training
needs. We have the tools and the knowledge necessary to build and
create a successful training program. From complete custom training
programs and annual training plans to individual lesson plans and
presentations we have you covered. We pride ourselves on having the
most up to date and current knowledge in fire service training. We
are constantly developing new products and services to better serve
you and your department.
