This document discusses proposed changes to the vehicle extrication training program for Hollis Fire. Currently, training consists of 6 hours over 3 sessions, with one session devoted to lecture. All job performance requirements are not completed due to time constraints and officers can only assess one incident. The proposed changes include reducing lecture time, ensuring comprehension of standard operating guidelines and protocols, allowing more hands-on training time to complete all job performance requirements, providing more flexibility in training dates, and conducting pre-training work and a more in-depth scenario evaluation and review using online polling software. This will help meet training objectives and provide feedback to improve future sessions. Potential challenges include resistance to change, a learning curve for members, information availability outside
