10 Years of FPOS Training
Today marks a decade since I began my journey in FPOS (First Person on Scene) training.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with an incredible array of learners—each one bringing unique energy, commitment, and courage.
To every student who's stepped up to the challenge, thank you. You’ve inspired me every step of the way.
Here’s to saving lives, empowering responders, and the journey ahead. I salute you all!

Madelyn, your incredible story exemplifies the power of training and courage under pressure.

Your heroic actions in such a life-or-death situation are truly inspiring.
The world is better because of people like you—brave, skilled, and ready to act when it matters most. Well done, Madelyn, and thank you for your extraordinary compassion and remarkable skill!
