Mastering Fireground Command-Calm the Chaos Lab

Thursday, April 23
CAPCE Credit

The workshop will go inside the command post with new footage and radio traffic of multiple incidents, including live rescues, fatalities, Maydays, and multibuilding fires. Dialog between the incident commander (IC) and other officers inside the incident command post (ICP) will be analyzed. Helmet camera footage is also used from the same incidents 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 amazing new ICP video, bone-chilling radio traffic, and behind-the-scenes lessons learned from fires and rescues in apartments, homes, and motels. We will focus on what went right for a change. We must get back to rescuing civilians in the context of modern fire behavior and building construction.
