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.

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.
