About this Event
This 6-day course is designed to introduce command officers to the complexities involved in commanding incidents in high-risk areas.
Students are confronted with a number of fire and rescue incidents that include high life hazard, multiple exposure and unusual occupancy risk considerations.
Students are taught operational applications in the Incident Command System (ICS), command and control, decision-making, strategic and tactical considerations, pre-incident preparation, documentation, and post-incident analysis.
Several simulations and case studies are used to depict and review incidents in various types of target hazards such as:
- Penal institutions.
- Bulk oil-storage facilities.
- Nursing homes.
- Colleges.
- Chemical/agricultural manufacturing plants.
- Grain elevators.
The course is comprehensive and uses lecture, case study, simulation and student participation as instructional methods.
This course is not a tactics class but explains the development of the Incident Management Teams.
*Students must have substantial involvement in fire prevention and control, emergency medical services, fire-related emergency management activities or aligned professions.*
