The Company Officers Role in Safety and Survival

by Forest Reeder

 

This course will take a look at some of the most hazardous areas of fireground operations and identify what the company officer should be looking for to keep the crews safe.  Students will also be encouraged to rethink some typical tactical assignments when presented with hazardous fire and building conditions. You will be challenged to identify what the officer should be looking for and monitoring during operations. This program supports the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives by advocating better risk management and empowering the fire service membership to stop repeating history.
