My probie has mentioned that he wants to regularly dry stretch.

What!?!

I think we just became best friends.

I explained to him that thats my go to daily drill of choice.

Now only does it give the firefighter practice but also the engineer.

The engineer has to spot the apparatus and we usually discuss tactics after the stretch.

We go over different options and discuss possible variables.

The point is to get out and do it.

Familiarize yourself with your first due and keep your crew engaged.

I've been picking apartment complexes since they add a higher degree of difficulty stretching around obstacles.
