ENHANCING THE COMMAND OF THE INCIDENT
For large departments fortunate enough to have a robust response of suppression forces and command staff, strong command is often not a burden. However for the the smaller career, combination, and volunteer systems we are constantly challenged to do more with less at the suppression level as well as the command level-but are responsible for achieving the same results and safety as the larger systems.
The program provides a candid view of the challenges and real world responsibilities of incident commanders, safety officer, staff aides and division supervisors in departments who cannot muster large numbers of command staff officers. This program also defines command position need and the almost mandatory use of adequately trained persons to fill out the leading roles during structural fires, special operations calls, and for the day to day unusual incidents.
CLASS DETAILS
This program looks at the deadly cocktails of trends that lead to fireground injuries and deaths, focusing on how the adaptation of a planned command staff policy could make the difference. It includes knowledge that an incident commander of subsequent command staff can provide any number of unusual instances to provide oversight. Further, the program digs deeper into the control side which often is not defined or discussed in any way.
With today’s aggressive & fast paced fireground, the more sets of eyes looking at the strategy and safety, the better. This program focuses on identifying and developing predetermined methods to make the fireground less chaotic. We’ll provide solutions to find mutual aid agreements and to solve training and management safety issues that are faced on most fire grounds. The end objective is to foster development and planning before we are striking three alarms, and defeating the ensuing chaos that usually arrives at the same time.

Driving tactics as well as a reasonable expectation for success during active violence incidents will be discussed. This course will expose law enforcement, fire and rescue personnel, as well as other public safety partners to operating in a warm zone environment to provide point of wounding care to patients. Tactical Emergency Casualty Care lessons will be provided so that all participants can provide appropriate point of wounding care. Discussions will include command and control considerations, including the establishment of unified command, common operating language, and essential on scene functions that must be performed for the incident to be successful.
