TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR USERS SAY.

Real feedback from fire service professionals who have trained with NESTA.

★★★★★

This program will be invaluable for departments large & small to bring hands on skill competency to members without potentially compromising front line fire apparatus.

THOMAS BLANCHETTE Fire Chief, Loudon Fire Department
★★★★★

NESTA has put together a great group of trainers who are professional and knowledgeable in pumps and pumping. I highly recommend them to come and do an entry level pump training for any level pump operator that you have in your department.

HEIDI BEAULAC Lieutenant, Laconia Fire Department

Peter, I want to thank you for a great weekend of training. I also want to commend your instructors for both their knowledge and their patience, especially in dealing with a 70 year old rookie. I learned more about pumping in a single weekend than I did over the past year. I will never walk into a burning building, but I may be responsible for others who will. Small rural departments are hard pressed for eager volunteers, hence my situation, and training can be haphazard. I realize that at my age, I will never be a pro, but just knowing that my guys will be safer is a comfort.

PAUL HENDLER South Londonderry Fire Department
★★★★★

I often get a lot of grief for always taking classes: “It isn’t required, so why waste your time?” Classes allow me to get hands on with less-practiced skills and keep them ready for when they are needed. Whether it is helping teach a class or taking a class, it is all reinforcement and refreshing of skills. Thank you again for the encouragement to always be better! That was one of the best classes I have taken!
