This six 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. The students are taught advanced applications |
in ICS, Command and Control, decision making, strategic and tactical considerations, |
preincident preparation, documentation and post incident analysis. Several simulations |
and case studies are used to depict and review incidents in various types of target |
hazards. Some examples of these are penal institutions, bulk oil storage facilities, nursing |
homes, colleges, chemical/agricultural manufacturing plants and grain elevators. The |
course is comprehensive and uses lecture, case study simulation and student |
participation as instructional methods. |
