The Illinois Task Force on Firefighter Life Safety
presents Everyone Goes Home - Train the Trainer
Firefighters must have the courage to face a multitude of risks in order to save
lives and protect their communities. Their courage allows them to willingly risk
their own lives so that others can be saved. A different type of courage is
required to stay safe in potentially dangerous situations, avoiding needless risks
and tragic consequences. This provocative and moving presentation is
designed to change the culture of accepting the loss of firefighters as a normal
occurrence. Building on the untold story of LODD survivors, it reveals how family
members must live with the consequences of a firefighter death and provides a
focus on the need for firefighters and officers to change fundamental attitudes
and behaviors in order to prevent line of duty deaths. The central theme
promotes the courage to do the right thing in order to protect yourself and other
firefighters and ensure that "Everyone Goes Home" at the end of the day.
This program is a must see for all who care, share, and have a
feeling for the safety of all firefighters!
