Owner / Instructor Red Helmet Training Rancho Cucamonga, California
Most Fire Officers and Chiefs will fight more fires in the station then they will out in the streets. This program will utilize basic fireground terminology to break down and make sense of employee coaching, counseling and disciplinary procedures. It will apply such firefighter knowledge as conducting a size up, which will include looking at the building construction (How the employee is built as well as the condition of the building), the extent and location of the fire (the problem) and doing a risk assessment.
Once these observations are considered then a strategy can be determined and tactics can be put in place. We will then utilize the acronym RECEO to determine what tactics to use when dealing with a problem employee. We will also focus on using Fire Prevention, Education, Pre-Planning and Fire Behavior Recognition Training (Reading Smoke) to prevent fires (problems) and keep them small. We will also compare hostile fire events such as rapid fire progression, flashover, backdraft and smoke explosions to the more difficult personnel issues.
Learning Objectives:
The participant will be able to develop a size up process to use on their "employee fires" that will include how the person is built (building construction), the symptoms of a problem (reading smoke), and actions to take.
The participant we be able to decide which source of power should be utilized based on the "employee fire" problem using SLICERS - Social, Legitimate, Imitation, Coercion, Expert, Reward or Sympathy / Empathy.
The participant will be able to administer an incident action plan for the employee fire using RECEO VS and other strategic actions.
