14-003 Mastering Fireground Command, Calm the Chaos! Saturday and Sunday

Today's fireground should be a calm and orchestrated event, but often it is not!

Fewer fires, mass attrition, and little or no command training have created an era in today's fire service where the simple "bread and butter" house fire is a sentinel event. Review actual incident video and radio traffic and participate in simulations for house fires, garden/center hall apartments, commercial, highrise, wildland, MCI, hazardous materials incidents This intense, hands-on and interactive workshop hits these issues head on and will simplify the components of tactics & strategy, SOP's and ICS. We synthesize these 3 key ingredients to help you drastically improve the way you command your next incident or handle your upcoming assessment center! Don't believe the lie that you cannot prepare for the test and the job at the same time. The military, airlines, and NASA do it, and it's about time the fire service did!

• Current officers who desire to dramatically improve their fireground command abilities

• Aspiring officers who desire to develop a system for outstanding performance for the assessment center test and the job
