Lesson plans that run on a coffee budget, not a projector.

Tight 50-minute blocks, printable on a single sheet, every step cited to a JPR. Drill instructors and small academies can run a full chapter of FF I in an evening without stacking Zoom links or praying the LMS stays up.

  • One sheet per session — fits on a clip-board, no AV stack.
  • Instructor demo, crew rotation, debrief — same on every lesson.
  • Mapped to NFPA 1001, 1002, and 1500; aligned to IFSTA chapter order.
  • Cost-per-recruit lands below LMS seats over a single academy year.

Locked to one device, no print, no deck.

Subscription LMS (Vector Solutions)
