New Jersey firefighter creates program designed to help train other firefighters all over the world.
Growing up a fire chief’s son, Bobby Eckert knows a thing or two about fighting fires. He works on the front line in Camden, as a Captain with Squad Company 7.
“I saw a void in the fire service training industry,” explained Eckert. “Fire training has become more like checking boxes.”“Not every town in America goes to a house fire every day,” said Eckert. “So we’re able to show them the street smarts that we learn and we use on a daily basis in our careers.”Using hay and pallets instead of propane, Eckert and his team create a real fire scenario. They use props to create realistic obstacles, like cars blocking firefighters’ access to a house fire.
Eckert says he knows his method works, because of the feedback he’s gotten. One email from a client spoke about a tactic Eckert taught their firefighters, that ultimately helped them pull a child from a burning home.
