Mastering Fireground Command-Calm the Chaos

Tuesday, April 21
4 EMS Credit Hours

This workshop will go inside the incident command post (ICP) with new footage and radio traffic of multiple incidents, including live rescues, fatalities, Maydays, and multi-building fires. Dialogue between the incident commander (IC) and other officers inside the ICP will be analyzed. Helmet camera footage from the same incidents is also used to link the ICP and company (strategic/tactical/task levels). Situational awareness and true aggression from the IC down to the lowest senior firefighter on the fireground will be emphasized and discussed. This workshop is full of new amazing incident command post video; bone-chilling radio traffic; and behind-the-scenes lessons learned from fires and rescues in apartments, homes, and motels. It will focus on what went right for a change. This will be a high-energy, intense, and one-of-kind workshop that you can't miss. We must get back to rescuing civilians in the context of modern fire behavior and building construction.

*Eligible for CEH/CAPCE Credit
