About Us
Professional Training for Firefighters, Law Enforcement & Military
Brass Shamrock Training offers high-level training, gained through the experience of firefighters, law enforcement agencies, and military units that operate in high-risk areas, where training is the determinant of results. We train based on realistic Truck Operations Training and tactical implementation, developed for times when things go wrong, and the choices count the most.
Our training is not about demonstrations in a controlled environment, but about operations in the real world. All the evolutions, props, and scenarios are designed to put participants to the test both physically and mentally, and to strengthen disciplined fundamentals that stand the test of time.
Who We Are
Brass Shamrock Training is a training organization that has a mission that is based on equipping professionals to meet the requirements of present day operations. Our cadre consists of experienced firefighters, officers, and tactical operators with many years of hands-on frontline experience in Truck Company Operations.
We are aware of the job realities: limited time, less-than-perfect information, changing hazards, and high consequences. The knowledge leads us to create our courses and instruct on the training ground.
Our Mission and Training Philosophy
Our mission is to enhance operational performance by providing realistic, practical training that equips professionals to perform in unpredictable, high-risk situations.
We believe effective training must be:
- Realistic and physically demanding
- Rooted in operational experience
- Focused on repeatable fundamentals
- Relevant to modern construction, equipment, and tactics
Our philosophy is stress performance; therefore, the skills are acquired to become instinctive under the worst conditions.
Truck Company Operations & Forcible Entry Training
The skills of truck companies are essential to the success on the fireground, and Forcible Entry Training is often the initial challenge crews must overcome. We teach with confidence and skill, using practical repetition with specifically designed training props.
Firefighters train on:
- Mechanical and conventional forcible entry
- Passive Entry techniques
- Through the Lock Training
- Proper tool selection and body positioning
- Team coordination and communication
- Overcoming modern security features and construction challenges
These evolutions enhance efficiency, safety, and accountability, and train crews to act in time.
Search, Ventilation, and Construction Awareness
Our training enhances crucial truck company operations, such as Firefighter Search, search operations coordination, and Vertical Ventilation, in realistic conditions. Training is also closely linked to Building Construction for firefighters, as it teaches crews to understand how construction type, layout, and collapse potential affect strategy, safety, and decision-making at the fireground.
Heavy Lift & Stabilization Training
Brass Shamrock Training is also a provider of specialized training in the area of Heavy Lift Stabilization, which is used to overcome problems that are normally faced during rescue and technical operations. The training is based on controlled lifting, stabilization methods, scene safety, and coordinated action in complicated environments.
Tactical Training for Law Enforcement & Military
Our law enforcement and military programs are set to serve the needs of personnel who will work in dynamic high-threat environments. Training involves superior Breacher Training and Breacher Up concepts that emphasize safe, efficient and controlled entry.
Training areas include:
- Mechanical breaching fundamentals
- Passive Entry and Covert Access Methods
- Through the Lock Training applications
- Movement in confined and complex spaces
- Decision-making under stress
Courses are structured to strengthen individual capability while improving team coordination and communication.
