Doing More With Less: Modern Firefighting Challenges - Dobbs Ferry, NY

The fire service is changing — staffing is down, call volume is up, and expectations have never been higher. Doing More With Less is a discussion-based class designed to tackle the realities of today’s fireground head-on.

this course breaks down the challenges departments are facing across the country — from recruitment and retention issues to operating effectively with limited manpower. More importantly, it focuses on practical, street-smart solutions that can be applied immediately.
This isn’t a textbook lecture. It’s an honest conversation built around real experience, encouraging members at all levels to think critically about how they operate, make decisions, and maximize efficiency with the resources they have.

Topics include:
• Operating with reduced staffing
• Engine and truck company expectations with fewer members
• Prioritizing tasks on the fireground
• Decision-making under pressure
• Adapting tactics without compromising safety
• Recruitment and retention challenges

Whether you’re a company officer, senior firefighter, or newer member trying to understand the “why” behind operations — this class delivers relevant, no-nonsense insight into the modern fire service.

If your department is feeling the strain of doing more with less, this is a conversation you need to be part of. Thanks to Instructor Jeff Daniels for putting together this great program.
