This isn’t your standard certification class. Back Steps Flow and Go course hammers the fundamentals: nozzle work, fast and efficient line deployment, flowing and moving, stair pushes, hose positioning, low-staffing engine tactics, and victim removal while on the hose line. High reps, hard work, real engine skills that put water where it matters.

Progressive by design—Day 1 builds the foundation, and Day 2 keeps building those same skills through more complex, live fire evolutions. Built by firefighters, for firefighters, this course honors traditional engine skills while preparing you for real-world challenges on today’s fireground.
