1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Leadership and Management Symposium (Day 1)

The presenter will share his experiences gained from serving 14 years as a station captain. As a seasoned captain, he knows that he will put out more fires in the fire house than he ever will on the streets of his community. This presentation will provide tactics and strategies needed to fight your most difficult fires using fire based analogies. Information discussed includes:

  • Building Construction: Understanding how your employees are built
  • Size Up: Sizing up the incident (false alarm, smoke showing, working fire, etc)
  • Performing a 360: Gathering the facts
  • Applying Tactics: RECEO VS for personnel issues
  • Incident Command: Being the designated adult
  • Knowing when to pass command
This presentation will conclude with “fire” simulations and conducting an after action review.
