I enjoyed looking over this site. I hope that your support continues to pour in.
I am looking for a Maltese emblem that is blank inside. As the daughter of a fallen firefighter with Indy Metro, I am looking
to create an emblem that reflects my vision as a survivor. If anyone has suggestions, offerings, know of sites where I can
find graphics, I am forever greatful.

Excellant Site. Mandatory Training and minimum qualifications for officers is the only way we are going to inprove service
and keep our people alive. I commend the board for all their hard work and dedication. The na-sayers will either get on board
or goaway in time. Everything you have proposed is possable and necessary, even for the smallest of departments. I will do

A few of us who have managed to be so lucky as to having Tom, be not only our Instructor/Teacher, but a mentor, guide, and
personal friend, as to share not only his opinions with us, but as well, his goals, passions, and accomplishments.
Tom’s passion for the fire service, firefighter safety and education, is shared by many of us. Many years ago Tom seen the
need for standardized firefighter training, and education, that would meet national standards. Tom has worked a lifetime attempting
to achieve that vision for the safety of the Indiana Fire Service.
Tom took a few of us that share this same vision under his wings guiding us with professionalism, direction, and integrity
to fulfill this vision, through the passing of this torch.
This torch will be carried with honor, duty, professionalism, integrity, and respect to fulfill this vision, protect every
firefighter, and to honor the memory of Thomas E. Loraine.
Tom, THANK YOU! You will be missed by all!
Respectfully
Randy B.

Just a public "Thank You".
For some reason, role models in the fire service are hard to find nowadays and Tom Loraine has been one of mine. The Indiana
Fire service owes him a great deal and he will be dearly missed. I've taken dozens of classes over the last ten years but
the best fire service education I ever received was from the stories and conversations with Tom.
You will be missed by many Tom.

I feel that there needs to be an increse in ff training and that since must will not due it voluntarily then it needs to be
mandatory. I work as a Lt. in a career dept. that the merit board ways seniority very heavily and training/education not much.
If it takes the State to mandate Officer requirements as well as ff requirements to protect everyone I am all for it. |

I like this. This is what we have needed for years. To those who cry unfunded mandates from the state, phooey budget for it
guys. To the rest of us let's not drop our standards and stick by them. Old Navy chiefs addage lead by example and they will
follow you forever |

Excellent site-excellent mission. Hats off to the dedicated folks who are part of the Task Force. I recall sitting in a ballroom
segment a few years back at FDIC listening to a featured speaker discuss training standards. I cannot tell you how embarrassed
I was to be a member of the Indiana fire service, as this speaker made it quite clear that the state of Indiana’s minimum
training hours was only 24 hours. 24 hours and we were letting people enter burning buildings. He could not believe it, and
nor could I. I say this not because where I come from we have more resources that most, I say this from experience. Although
we have raised the bar slightly higher since then, we must again raise the bar before we let people respond to emergencies
and equally important……COMMAND emergencies. There is no place for people being officers because their friends made it to the
annual meeting or it’s “their turn”. What most do not understand, is aside from making critical decisions on the scene, good
officer training develops leaders. Solid leadership has a direct impact on member retention and helps develop future leaders.
We must raise our standards and have a system in place to ensure that they are maintained. Let’s work together to get our
fellow firefighters across our great state the resources they need to meet these standards. Maybe in a few years a featured
speaker at FDIC will discuss what a progressive training and education state Indiana is. |

Bravo! These are the standards to which the State must aspire to. I'd be interested in knowing if any related associations
have taken a position on these "recommendations"? |

I agree that training plays a very important role in the safety of fire fighters. How ever I feel that it will put a strain
on smaller departments. Like many other departments ours is striving to maintain as much training as possible. How ever I
have already heard from members who are saying they are not willing to participate in more training. They are finding it hard
to keep up now as it is and still work and spend time with their families. I have fifteen years in the fire service myself
and work locally and I know it is hard at times for me to keep up with training. Hopefully we can all work something out that
will benefit everyone involved. |

Mike is right in some respects- increased training and education will increase safety and the training does need to be funded.
Both the Executive Director of the Indiana DHS and the State Fire Marshal are committed to keeping the costs low and I think
they have proven that by offering the recent Mandetory class and WMD classes for free. I believe our biggest obstacle will
be fire service supervisors and "leaders" who don't have the "wear-with-all" to take a stand and require competency instead
of training hours.
Loosing firefighters because of training is a myth. The Task Force conducted a study and found that most states that required
additional training standards actually increased their membership. Chances are if you loose a firefighter because of higher
training standards (actually not really even higher we are trying to get to the nationally recognized NFPA minimums) you lost
them because they can't do the job, not because they didn't have the time- and to them I say "Good luck and Godspeed." |

I would like to commend you and any others for a great and well prepared page for the fire & ems service. Training is a must
within all of our sevices in order to provide improved protection and safety for all. The mandates that are adopted must
have the means to provide funding for local training in order to accommodate the time commitment by those who serve with the
fire and ems services, especially those protecting and serving small rural areas.
While many of these issues will increase safety, it also decreases the individuals who are willing to serve in these capacities
who are spending a considerable amount of time which takes away from their families and other commitments. There will be
less numbers, with a greater area to serve resulting in an increased hazard for many rural residents and those traveling through
rural communities. |

Everyone at every level must get involved. Raise your own personal standards and in turn it will raise your own personnel
standards. Turn off Jerry Springer and quit buying T-shirts from you know where. Purchase a firefighting textbook, get outside
and pull some hose. If you're looking for a hobby, build model airplanes. |

As a former board member, it is great to see the progress that you guys are making. I hope and pray that you all do not run
into the same political road blocks that we did. It is refreshing to see the fire service evolving like this. |

Firefighter training is infinite. When a firefighter states that they have received all of the training they need, it is time
for that firefighter to re-examine their profession and to choose another. WE WILL NEVER KNOW EVERYTHING.
Train today to prevent a tragedy tomorrow. |
