Mastering Fireground Command Lab - Calm the Chaos

Thursday, April 10

This workshop is based on the new best-selling book from Fire Engineering. The workshop will go inside the command post with new footage and radio traffic of multiple incidents, including live rescues, fatalities, maydays, and multi-building fires.  Dialogue between the incident commander and other officers inside the command post will be analyzed.  Helmet camera footage from the same incidents is also utilized to link the ICP and company (strategic/tactical/task levels).  Situational awareness and true aggression from the IC down to the lowest senior firefighter on the fireground will be emphasized and discussed. This workshop is charged full of new amazing incident command post video, bone-chilling radio traffic, and behind-the-scenes lessons learned from fires and rescues in apartments, homes, and motels.  We will focus on what went right for a change.  This will be a high-energy, intense and one-of-kind workshop that you can't miss.  We must get back to rescuing civilians in the context of modern fire behavior and building construction.
