AM-05  Strategy & Tactics  32 Hours   $150.00   

Instructor:  Scott Chasteen, Chief, Greensburg Fire Dept.

 The most critical time of any structure fire response is the first several minutes that companies begin arriving.  Where is the fire now?  Where is it going?  Are the occupants out of the building?  Offensive or Defensive?  These are some questions you should be asking yourself when filling the role of the company officer.  The decisions you make will affect the outcome of the incident.  Are you prepared to make those decisions?   This course is designed for those who already are or aspire to be a company officer.  Departments of any size will benefit from the information.  We will discuss topics ranging from the initial size-up to overhaul.  Participants should have a good understanding of basic firefighting techniques.  Projects will be assigned to be completed before the end of class.
