Fire Officers Guide to Modern Fireground Management - 3 Day Class

Classroom dates:
October 7-9, 2024
8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Description

The fireground is a fast-paced environment with many moving parts. As the officer, you oversee size up, safety and fire tactics. In this class, you will learn from three safety officers with many years of experience. The instructors will discuss tactics that can be implemented and carried out by any size fire department. They will share an aggressive approach to initial scene size up (360), tactics with focus on risk management, safety officer responsibilities, rapid intervention and scene accountability. Students will review and discuss tactical reports from near-miss situations and learn what was done to prevent these situations from happening again. Actual fireground video from a safety officer’s perspective will be shared to help reinforce the topics covered. This class is designed for all ranks in the fire service from aspiring fire officers to department chief.

This class will utilize SimsUshare software.

"The instructors did a great job of taking the fire response of a large city department and breaking it down so it can apply to a small-town response with mutual aid."

"This class was a hybrid of scene size-up, safety officer, and fire tactics. There was an emphasis on safety and accountability. It was a smaller class which allowed students to get into specific details of their department’s safety procedures and fire response tactics."
