Mastering Fireground Command: Calm the Chaos! Operations Workshop
September 14 - September 15
$100Alabama Fire College & Personnel Standards & Education Commission
Hosted by Tuscaloosa Fire Rescue, Taught by Anthony Kastros’ Firefighter Inspiration Readiness & Education team
Based on Fire Engineering’s best-selling book by Anthony Kastros and Brian Brush! Ideal for aspiring and experienced officers, command staff, and training officers. NIMS & NFPA-compliant instruction includes tactical worksheets for structure fires and train-the-trainer concepts. Review actual inside-the-command-post incident video and audio to examine the critical decisions that shape successful fireground operations. This will help you better understand the following questions:
- How do we ensure in-house ICS/NIMS/NFPA-compliant command and tactical training?
- How do we teach new and incumbent officers to set clear tactical objectives, have clear communications, and establish command presence on our fires?
- How do we ensure quick resource deployment and accurate accountability?
- How do we build upon our training and experience for next-level, larger incidents?
- How do we keep the NIOSH 5 LODD causal factors from coming into alignment?
- How do we create consistency among all shifts and battalions while developing new and aspiring officers?
- How do we really use ICS day-to-day for Type 4 & 5 incidents with more efficient accountability and clearer communications?
- How do we ensure rapid size up and victim profiling is done consistently?
- How do we utilize division and group supervisors to bridge the Tactical Gap?
- How do we ensure lessons from the past permeate down into a simple and effective way?
- How do we apply the latest civilian victim profiling SIGNAL method to maximize rescues?
- What do factors in modern construction and fire behavior mean to tactics and command?
- What are the implications of the latest FSRI studies regarding fire behavior?
- How do we factor in the latest data from FirefighterRescueSurvey.com and FirefighterMaydaySurvey.com?
This intense, and interactive workshop hits these issues head on and will simplify the components of tactics & strategy, SOG’s, and ICS.
