Today's fireground should be a calm and orchestrated event, but often it is not!
The NIOSH top 5 line of duty death operational causal factors on the fireground involve; size up, command, communications, accountability and SOP's. 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 to get answers to the following questions...
- How do I set clear tactical objectives, have clear communications and establish command presence on my fires?
- How do I create a personal system that blends all of my classes, certifications, SOP's, ICS, and tactical fundamentals into a simple, street smart and effective way?
- What's the difference between size ups and arrival reports and how do I become great at both?
- What are the trigger points and safety issues of Offensive, Defensive and Combo strategies?
- What are the key points to Rescue, Exposures, Confinement, Extinguishment, Overhaul, Ventilation and Salvage?
- How do I really use ICS day-to-day and get beyond "checking the boxes"?
- How do we get SOP's/SOG's working in my department?
- When do we call an audible on the SOP's?
- What do changes in construction and fire behavior mean to modern-day tactics and command?
- What are the implications of the most recent NIST and UL studies regarding flow path?
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!
