Chief of Training Command Institute-Center for Fireground Leadership (USA) Liverpool, New York
Lessons and Learnings from the fireground resonate with recommendations and actions that all fire officers and commanders must recognize and implement in future fireground operations in order to reduce operational risks and improve incident operations, management and tactical integration. Through a facilitated discussion, prominent NIOSH LODD Reports will be examined, key report insights discussed with integrated perspectives and learnings of past historical incidents presented that are as relevant today as they were in the past decades. Common causal factors and Human Performance (HU), Operating Experience (OE) and HU performance barriers will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
Enable the student to recognize common causes affecting significant events, near misses, operating experience and line of duty deaths that influence fire service operations
Enable the student to implement operating experience from significant case studies based upon structural profiles, fire involvement and inherent characteristics based upon this construction and occupancy, current building usage and construction trends, expected fire behavior and the expected time factors to accomplish mission critical objectives.
Given select case studies and reports, the student will be able to identify common factors influencing decision making, strategic, tactical and task level deployment considerations and suggested human performance factors leading to adverse consequences or outcomes.
