Course Details

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. 

The pre-course assignment is an individual assignment leading into the main theme of the course.

The target audience for this course includes officers who are charged with setting up initial operations at a major multialarm incident, and those initial officers involved in the transfer of Command to a higher level officer. In general this could include chief officers or those who perform in Command positions.
