Notes From The Senior Men vs Drill Deck

Short, no-BS fire service lessons from experienced senior firefighters. Vetted contributors. Real experience. Nothing extra. Every note is built from time on the job—lessons learned on the fireground, not in a classroom. Truck work, engine work, rescue, leadership—it’s all here, stripped down to what actually matters. No long reads. No filler. Just clear, usable knowledge you can take with you. This isn’t social media. There are no comments, no arguments, and no noise. What you’re reading has been filtered, tested, and passed down by people who’ve done the job and earned the right to teach it. Not everyone gets to contribute. That’s the point. The standard stays high so the content stays real. Open the app, read a note, and get something you can use on the next run. That’s it.

Drill Deck is the training officer in your pocket. Whether you are a volunteer alone at the hall or a career firefighter with a crew on shift, tell it who is training and what you have on hand, and it hands you a drill you can run right now. 300+ HANDS-ON DRILLS • SCBA, hose, ladders, search, forcible entry, ventilation, pump operations, rope, extrication, RIC, size-up and more • Solo drills you can run alone, and crew drills for two or more • Step-by-step, with target times, PPE, safety stops, and ways to make it harder • Every drill names the NFPA standard section behind it, so you can look up the source • No engine today? Turn on minimal equipment and keep training TRAIN IN ONE TAP • Pick Solo, Partner, or Company and assign seats on one phone • Finish with a quick after-action review and a score • Same skill again, something random, or make it harder YOUR DEPARTMENT'S WAY • Every drill reads like your officer at the tailboard, and your SOP always comes first • Check any drill against your SOP in about 30 seconds: same here, we do it different, or we skip it • Set your station's words once (RIT or FAST, Engineer or Chauffeur) and every drill uses them • Trade SOP packs with your crew by AirDrop or Messages KNOW YOUR DISTRICT • Outline your first due on the map and place your fire house • Take a dispatch to a real address with cross streets • Drive the call street by street and see how your route compares YOUR TRAINING RECORD • Every session logged automatically, on your device • Streaks, averages, and history • Printable drill cards • Pro: export your record and print a training report LINK UP (OPTIONAL) • Open a room with a join code and run the same drill together • Sign in with Apple and a callsign — no name or email collected SHIFT REMINDERS AND WIDGET • Reminders that follow your rotation: weekly, 24/48, 24/72, 48/96, or Kelly • Today's drill on your Home Screen PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
