Signal 73 Launches “Modern Firefighting: Doing More With Less” with the Orange Fire Department

This past Thursday, Signal 73 Fire Training LLC launched its newest fire service lecture, Modern Firefighting: Doing More With Less, with its inaugural delivery hosted by the Orange Fire Department. The class was led by instructor Jeff Daniels, whose experience and practical insights offered a timely and valuable resource to departments operating with limited staffing.

Designed as an in-depth, discussion-based session, the training is tailored for fire departments that routinely face low manpower—a challenge confronting many agencies across the country. The class focuses on street-proven tactics, strong decision-making, and clear prioritization, all aimed at maximizing operational effectiveness without compromising firefighter safety.

“Departments everywhere are struggling to do more with less,” Daniels noted. “This class is about providing tools and strategies that work in the real world, where staffing and resources are often stretched thin.”

Modern Firefighting: Doing More With Less emphasizes a realistic approach to emergency response, helping departments adapt to their specific challenges, whether related to staffing, recruitment, or retention. Participants are encouraged to share experiences and learn practical solutions to meet the evolving demands of the fire service.

If your department faces similar challenges and is interested in hosting this impactful training, Signal 73 Fire Training is currently booking into the spring and summer seasons. For more information, contact jmiller@signal73fire.com.

Fire Prevention Tip: Staffing challenges make fire prevention even more critical. Test your smoke alarms monthly and ensure every household has a working fire escape plan.
