EMERGENCY
VEHICLE RESPONSE MISSION STATEMENT
Welcome to the official web site of Michael Wilbur's Emergency Vehicle
Response.
Emergency Vehicle Response was born out of Firefighters desire
for excellent emergency vehicle driver training over a decade ago. Hence
the companies motto "Excellence in Motion". Emergency Vehicle Response
offers 18 hours of the best and unmatched Emergency Vehicle Driver Training
in the World. This training can be offered at your fire station and includes
hands on training on your apparatus. Click the EVOC link for more information
on this course.
In the late 1990's I was instrumental in writing the
lesson plan for the New York State Water Supply Course. That course
was the next course to be offered by Emergency Vehicle Response. The
Water Supply Course is also 18 hours of training and can be offered
at your fire station given the right equipment and the proper facility
to hold the hands on part of this training. Click the Water Supply link
for more information on the Water Supply Course.
The newest
course offering is Aerial Ladder and Tower Ladder Placement and Operation.
This course was design as a direct result of going around the country
teaching EVOC and finding out that most Fire Departments do not understand,
have not been properly trained and do not get the maximum use out of
their aerial devices. This 8 hour course is a dynamic PowerPoint presentation
that includes hands on training on your aerial apparatus and buildings
in your response area. For more information and a class outline click
on the Aerial Operations link.

Gerry Brown of the Bowling Green, KY, Fire Department gives his account and true-felt feelings from the day of the accident to the present. This account should leave an indelible impression in the mind of every emergency vehicle operator. I would like to thank Gerry. Here is his story, in his words.Rescue 1This is our smallest unit - only 10 tons. I had been the assigned driver on it for approximately two years at the time of the accident.
