All too often in the fire service we train on the technical aspects of our job, but rarely
do we train, teach, coach or mentor our leaders (company officers) on how to deal
with the interpersonal side of our job and how to truly lead. This eight hour course
is designed to give experience proven advice on how a company level officer can
strive, reach, and obtain excellence. It is instructed from the perspective of a “High
Performer” and reviews critical practices for company officers such as: Building the
Foundation, importance of understanding Followership and creating courageous
followers, the 4 Levels of Expectations, the 3 Conditions of Leadership Influence and
how to create effective influence, methods of effective leadership communication,
critical Operational Leadership Practices for the company officer, understanding
and implementing 3 Levels of Mentoring Accountability, building Communication
Platforms with your bosses and other company officers, motivating and inspiring
your firefighters, dealing with problem “employees”, dealing with average to substandard performing employees, common company officer situations the company
officer will be faced with, and much more. This class is designed to give legitimate,
time proven practices that the company officer can implement immediately and
see instant results. All subjects discussed in this class have been originated from on
the job trial and error and from this we have found many critical practices that
actually work! Regardless if you work in a large or small department, from urban or
suburban, company officers face the exact same challenges. This class will give you
tons of “Nuggets” on how to deal with the many challenges you will face as a front
line combat company officer.

Calm the Chaos! Mastering Fireground Command – Schaumburg, IL

Instructor: Battalion Chief Anthony Kastros – Sacramento Metro Fire District

Date: May 16, 2018

Today’s fireground should be a calm and orchestrated event, but often it is not!

The NIOSH top 5 line of duty death operational causes on the fireground surround size up, command, communications, accountability and SOP’s.

Participate in simulations for house fires, garden/center hall apartments, commercial fire incidents and review actual inside-the-command-post incident video and audio to get answers to the following questions…

  • How do I set clear tactical objectives, have clear communications and establish command presence on my fires?
  • How do I create a personal system that blends all of my classes, certifications, SOP’s, ICS, and tactical fundamentals into a simple, street-smart and effective way?
  • What’s the difference between size ups and arrival reports and how do I become better at both?
  • What are the trigger points and safety issues of Offensive, Defensive and Combination strategies?
  • What are the key points to Rescue, Exposures, Confinement, Extinguishment, Overhaul, Ventilation and Salvage?
  • What is the real difference between RECEO-VS and SLICE-RS?
  • How do I really use ICS day-to-day and get beyond “checking the boxes”?
  • How do we get SOP’s/SOG’s working in my department?
  • When do we call an audible on the SOP’s?
  • What could hurt me or my crew tonight?
  • What do changes in construction and fire behavior mean to modern-day tactics and command?
  • What are the implications of the latest NIST and UL studies regarding flow path?

Who should attend…

  • Company Officers who want more tools upon arrival
  • Chief Officers who want better communications and accountability
  • Aspiring Officers who want to prepare for the job and the test
  • Training Officers who want the latest in tactical and command training
