FIREFIGHTER SAFETY AND SURVIVAL SERIES

THE FIRST ARIVING OFFICER

Incident command at the company level

Classroom Version

Presented by

Captain David P. Fornell

Every officer has faced it. You've just been promoted to your first officer's position when suddenly; you begin to feel the awesome burden of responsibility. The lives of the firefighters under your command, the lives of those who may be trapped in a burning building, millions of dollars in property value and your own self esteem are on the line from the first moment you fasten the brass to your collar.

In this class, Captain Fornell discusses basic items that every company officer must know including personnel management, size-up procedures and options, formulating a comprehensive attack plan, size-up, safe attack practices, tactics for commercial building fires, accountability, ventilation, self escape options and safe operational tactics for firefighter assist teams.

Over the years, much misinformation and fire service lore has been presented when discussing fire attack risk management and water flow tactics. This course unravels the mystery, separating facts from fiction and presents a solid series of suggestions that will make fire attack more efficient and much safer.

Through an exciting Power Point presentation, reinforced with stunning video tape fire ground footage, Captain Fornell offers practical advice on motivating and training company personnel, developing and administering a practical safety plan, planning, coordinating and executing first arrival tactics, all helping the company officer deliver a efficient and safe performance on the fire ground.

Does your Fire Chief, or one you know or work closely with fit this very profile of dedicated service to the department and community they serve? We need your help then!

Please take the time to look over the important information attached and help us in recognizing outstanding leadership and commitment to the safety of citizens in your area and throughout Illinois by providing a nominee; a Fire Chief who has gained your respect that you know for this great honor. What can be more gratifying than to see your Fire Chief or one that you work closely with as one of the 2011 Fire Chiefs of the Year?

As a past recipient, I can personally tell you there is no greater honor than to receive this award acknowledging in many cases what we believe to be just doing our jobs.
