Commanding and Controlling the Volunteer Fireground

Wednesday, April 09

It is no secret that using the incident command system and at an incident is critical to the success of the incident and the safety of personnel operating on the fireground.  There are many volunteer fire departments that do command and control well.  Those departments typically have the personnel to fill all the fireground functions.  But what about the smaller volunteer or rural departments?  What about your department?  How is command and control on the fireground achieved when there are other critical functions to be done?  This class will provide skills and solutions for building a command structure that achieves the fireground benchmarks, providing fireground control along with establishing roles and responsibilities for volunteer officers and firefighters.
