Morning Session: 8:30 - 12:00Lessons Learned in Leadership: From the Firehouse to the Fire Floor
We exist to serve, and we serve as members of teams. Our teams have leaders. The cadence to which the team performs is primarily due to the leaders' expectations set forth preemptively. Leaders must motivate, be 'in the fight' and look to improve the well-being of the team to best carry out the mission. Let's delve into leadership, from mindset to motivation, tactics to training. A journey of lessons learned from our successes and failures in the firehouse and on the fireground.
Lunch Break: 12:00-1:00
Afternoon Session: 1:00-5:00
First Due! Residential Building Fire Tactics for the Engine, Truck, and BC
This program discusses the mission-critical incident actions for Engines and Trucks and Chiefs at Residential Fires. Highlighting the 'must have' roles and responsibilities for each unit, and honing those elements that are imperative to employ an efficient and effective fire attack. Successful fire attack dictates adeliberate balance of coordination and communication between all members. Discussions from pre-incident readiness to tactical resource deployments for 'both sides of the floor.' While we all know that the application of water still extinguishes fire and searches still locate trapped civilians, the art and science behind "how, when, and why" to mount the attack is being questioned. The initial company-level actions can make or break the operation. Are you and your team best prepared to operate mentally, physically, and tactically in our residential environment? Don't think so, know so?
