Aggressive Command Supports Aggressive Firefighting: The Top 5 COMMANDments for a Safe and Effective Fireground (40TA)

Incident command failures are consistently part of the "NIOSH top 5" factors that

contribute to line-of-duty deaths. This class will discuss the top 5 actions that an

incident commander must take at each incident to ensure safe and effective

operations. In the most successful operations, the skills of talented firefighters are

enabled, supported, and best deployed by talented chief officers who run a well-

organized and well-managed incident. These are ICs who understand what firefighters

can and should do, understand tactics, and know how to build an incident that puts

things together the right way to crush the problem. This class will cover concepts that

are practical and can be easily implemented to make being in command less stressful

and to ensure effective operations and the safety of your firefighters.
