“CLOSE CALLS”

Chief Billy G. will present to the attendees, through incredible video, audio, slides and “WAKE UP” lecture, an in-depth review of specific fire ground events and most specifically, the LESSONS LEARNED so that these incidents (and those involved) don’t ever become forgotten

INCIDENT COMMAND/MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Successful fire suppression is dependant upon efficient execution of attack strategies and proper utilization of day-to-day resources.  Couple these aspects with personnel safety and the importance of understanding command becomes obvious.

This course will focus on managing incidents on a large and small scale, whatever the size of your department.  This is an excellent course for all firefighters, from the rand and file to the multi-bugles. 

**Emphasis will be placed on accountability.
