This Command level class will prepare the incident commander to better manage a firefighter in distress. Regardless of your department size the words “Mayday – Mayday – Mayday” have challenged many good incident commanders. Maydays create more workplace stress than anything on the fire ground. Bringing Calm to the Chaos will look at the human body’s response to acute stress and how it can affect the commander’s cognitive thought processing. Come learn how to identify your command strengths and weaknesses on a new level. This class will show the attendees how to build a better command team, provide greater oversight on firefighter accountability and how smaller rural fire departments can increase the manpower needed before the Mayday occurs. During this full day class, we will review the leading causes of a Mayday and make you think tactically on how to manage each of them differently. We will listen to radio communications that helped (or) hindered rescue efforts. Discuss monitoring (EDS) emergency distress signals, the need for multiple radio frequencies to properly manage the fire and a Mayday operation. Learn how to preplan positional assignments for not only the Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) but the Incident Command Team for greater success. Conflict Resolution: Building relationships through behavioral modification. How to handle the uncomfortable side of leadership… discipline. This class has received incredible feedback with many stating this type of leadership program is much needed to properly prepare the leader for today’s dynamic fire service.
