Title: Company Officer Development – Your Recipe for Success
Length of program: 90 minutes
Type of program: Individual Presentation
Abstract:  

As company officers we routinely train and prepare ourselves to manage incidents of varying complexities. At the same time, few if any of us equally prepare ourselves to deal with the daily challenges of company level motivation – one of the most problematic issues encountered by a company officer). This multi-media presentation will define the art of firefighter motivation and describe how company officers can implement a “motivation” driven action plan for company level success.

Title: TRAINING for the Big Box “MAYDAY
Length of program: 90 minutes
Type of program: Individual Presentation
Abstract:  

The initiation or transmission of a firefighter distress signal produces more stress and potential chaos then any other singular type of incident we may encounter throughout our careers. As firefighters, fire officers, and trainers we must develop a standard plan of action that permits our fireground strategist to properly manage and overcome these potentially chaotic and unquestionably stressful events. Our lives and the lives of our fellow firefighters depend on our preparatory efforts.

This multi-media, high-energy program will detail the necessary steps and methods of how to train and prepare for a potential “Mayday” incident in what has become some of the most prominent structures today – THE BIG BOX. Attendees will learn how to develop a training program that will ultimately prepare them for a Safety Engine/RIT deployment, search and removal of a downed, trapped or disoriented member in a large commercial occupancy (a.k.a. BIG BOX).
Learning Objectives:  
Following this segment, the student will:
  • Identify the necessary pre-incident actions, which should be instituted for a safe and effective Safety/Engine/R.I.T. deployment in a Big Box Building.
  • Identify the four (4) initial steps in addressing a fireground “Mayday!” in a Big Box Building.
  • Describe how proactive fireground operations can effectively lead to a successful Safety Engine/RIT rescue operation in a Big Box Building.
  • Describe the importance of effective fireground communications as it relates the “Mayday!” incident.
  • Identify the importance of fireground accountability as it relates to the “Mayday!” incident and Safety Engine/RIT operations.
  • Describe the importance of risk management during a “Mayday!” incident and Safety Engine/RIT operations.
  • Identify the roles and responsibilities of the incident commander during a Safety Engine/RIT deployment.


Title: A LESSON IN REALITY - SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING
Length of program: 90 minutes - 2 hours
Type of program: Individual Presentation
Abstract:  

The fire service is well known for it's ability to act in times of high-stress and chaos, but how do we predict the actions and abilities of our members without putting them at risk? This high-energy, multi-media program takes an in-depth look at scenario-based training and how we can PROACTIVELY address potential systemic problems within our organization. Included in this program are real-life training scenarios that reveal potentially disastrous actions in emergency situations (i.e. equipment deficiencies/flaws, communication deficiencies, operational procedures which compromise personnel performance and safety, individual actions which compromise accountability and company performance levels, and most importantly, human factors during high-stress situations that could potentially lead to disaster on the fireground. This program has been designed to provide that much needed REALITY CHECK to PROACTIVELY address actions otherwise left unknown.

Learning Objectives:  
Following this segment, the student will:
  • Describe how the use of scenario-based training can help predict the actions and abilities of firefighters in high-stress incidents.


  • Describe how to effectively develop a scenario-based training program that incorporates the following:
    o Fire ground decision making
    o Use and competency of various tools and equipment
    o Personal protective equipment usage/competency levels
    o Fire ground communications (standard and emergency)
    o Fire ground accountability
    o Command & control

  • Describe how a multi-dimensional, scenario-based training program can increase operational effectiveness and fireground safety.


Title: HIGH-IMPACT, HIGH-ENERGY TRAINING
Length of program: 90 minutes - 2 hours
