“The fire service is not the same as it was 25 years ago. Tailboard riding is out, bunker gear is in and YES, fires are burning hotter than ever before. Our aggressive nature is good but we must be educated in today’s pitfalls to attain positive results. This program is designed to discuss these issues and how today’s fire officer and senior firefighter can mold a company / department of “Street-Smart Firefighters”. Emphasis will be on the role of the company officer.

Topics to be discussed will include:

• Evaluating ourselves as leaders
• History – How it can affect our success
• Modern Fire Behavior & Construction’s effect on fire attack
• Vent-Enter- Isolate & Search, is it practical in the urban and rural setting
• Size-up & Effective Radio Communications
• “The 10 Minute Drill” – motivating our people to want to learn
• Dealing with “Dinosaur Eggs”
• Our Obligations
