Red Devil Training can
provide your department with very cost-effective training. We don’t charge
by the student (though some classes have lab fees based on the number of
students). So the overall cost of the training per student is usually a lot
lower than sending a student to a “fire school.”
For example, an 8-hour RIT class at a fire
school can cost $80 per student. If you send 20 firefighters, the total for
your department would be $1600--not including lodging and meals. Plus your personnel would not be available for
taking calls. Also, teaching to an audience of the same department (and
surrounding agencies) lends itself to more consistent and tailored
training.
Red Devil Training’s approximate cost*
(including average travel expenses) would be $470. That averages out to
$23.50 per student (for 20 students). That is an $1100 savings. Even with a
lab fee (as an example) of $10, you still save $900. Plus
Red Devil Training will do the
training in your station or local meeting area, leaving your personnel
available for calls. And, yes, Red Devil
Training will “pause” class during calls so your personnel
don’t miss a thing. Also, we “advertise” each class as “X” amount of
hours. If the class takes a little longer, that’s OK with us—there are no
extra charges or fees for running over. And we never quit based on the
clock.
Your
department can be a host department for a class/seminar and charge outsiders to
attend. Contact

Red Devil Training
believes in the phenomenon of what we call “Organizational Implosion.” This
self-destructive, crippling organizational behavior is the simple practice
of not looking outside at what the rest of the world is doing in your field.
The longer this practice continues the more cut-off the organization becomes
from the rest of their field.
In the fire service, this relates to a
“we’ll do it our way” mentality. Basically, the less information that is
brought in from the outside world, the more isolated a fire department
becomes from the rest of the fire service. Finally, the organization
collapses due to insufficient information being shared from the outside.
“Collapse” can directly translate into an injury or death in the fire
service.
Red Devil Training
breaks that “Organizational Implosion” of training and pours on the
knowledge—at a speed that everyone in the department can be comfortable
with. Red Devil Training can’t
and won’t replace your training division, but we can supplement and
complement it.
