This hour-long presentation will cover the meaning of command and control on today’s firegrounds. The session will provide you tools, tips, and processes that will allow the incident commander and the company officer to better interact with each other to ensure tasks have been completed and information is shared on the fireground.
The class from Dan Shaw and Doug Mitchell provides detailed information on each step along with a strategic plan to train and hone the skills to execute them on the fireground.
You will be introduced to the tenets of Full Contact Leadership and how it applies to the fire officer and those who aspire to become fire officers.

The steps to resolving personnel conflict are compared and applied to the familiar fireground evolutions with which most fire operators are comfortable--sort of a way to introduce a level of comfort into the uncomfortable areas of command and leadership.
The leadership and courage that fire officers routinely display on the fireground by crossing the threshold must be matched in the firehouse with the same degree of enthusiasm and skill.
