August 2027 Own Your Path: Cab To Car Hybrid Course

Cab To Car:

Effective fireground command doesn’t have to start once a chief officer gets on scene. Effective command and control starts with the first arriving company and continues throughout the duration of the incident. This program reinforces the need for strong command and control from the moment the first air brake hits until demobilization. Focus will be on understanding how to establish appropriate strategies and reinforcing those strategies with sound tactics. We will dive into size up, command presence, communications, resource allocation, risk management, and building out an ICS structure in a practical way. The goal of this program is to give incident commanders of all ranks the tools and knowledge to run effective firegrounds that support decision making at the lowest level, and not micromanagement from the highest.
