This is a completely updated, comprehensive training program for new and experienced command officers who are serious about their competence and abilities as a incident commander. This program will walk current and future incident commanders through incident management in its entirety, from before the fire through terminating the incident, specifically and step-by step. Through several hours of recorded lessons per week, live discussions and activities we will cover these core areas:
Developing the mindset of a “firefighting chief”
Setting ourselves up for fireground success
Deploying a practical incident command process that maximizes the effectiveness of our firefighting companies

Read MoreNeeded exactly this! Recently promoted to a Battalion Chief corps of 31+ year BC's. Old habits in this job die hard, as you know. So, being the 'new kid' coming in, obtaining information & mentorship has been difficult. This course help to fill that gap & was perfect for shoring me up in the areas that I know I am weak in. The same areas that many couldn't mentor me on simply because they just don't know. It was very reassuring to hear someone talk & think in the same way, with the same mindset, that I do about many things to include how Aggressive Command truly does support Aggressive Firefighting. Thank you for this! I need info on the full course.

Read MoreThis is the second time I've taken this course. Once in-person and once online. I think this course should be a basic requirement for new incident commanders, just as gear donning drills is for new recruits. The online version could be utilized regularly as a refresher for seasoned ICs. I am very interested in taking the IC scenario course. Thank you, Nick!

Read LessGreat presentation, learned a lot of ways to improve the way we perform incident command which will lead to a much more organized/less chaotic fireground.

Read LessA detailed schedule/syllabus will be sent to you with specific dates for completing modules and attending live sessions on The Bay Floor online training community (like zoom). As an overview, the class consists of recorded course videos, assignments, live class discussions, live breakout group "meetings", and participation within a student community. The recorded courses are conducted via high quality video and audio, and can be accessed from any internet capable phone, tablet, or computer. Each week, students will complete an online video-based training module, lasting 1-2 hours. They will also have a week to complete an assignment in time for the following Live Session. Following the completion of each week's training module (usually every other Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.), students will participate in a live and interactive class discussion with the instructors and other students, based on material from that week's module. This will provide an opportunity to expand on the material, answer questions, and discuss applications to different departments or operational settings. On the weeks where there is not a full-class live session, your dedicated instructor will schedule a live zoom-type of meeting with you and a small break-out group of your peers to further discuss topics, ask questions and get to know each other and each others operations. At the completion of the recorded modules (weeks 11-12) it will be exclusively practicing scenarios in your breakout groups. Access to the modules and live trainings will be emailed to you.
Yes, each week builds on the material from the previous weeks. The courses have time-based assignments and discussions built into them as well.
Throughout the class, there will be assignments that students will complete outside of class in preparation for the next bi-weekly discussion. These assignments provide enhanced learning by requiring students to engage with application of the class material, and also learn from each other through moderated peer discussions.
Exact schedule of live session dates to be posted soon.
For maximum benefit, students can expect to dedicate around 2-3 hours per week to this program. This is an immersive training program that is intended for those who want to deep-dive into command practices and benefit from direct interaction with the instructors and their peers. We understand that not everyone will be able to dedicate this amount of time. For those who would still like to take the course modules on their own, there is an online Aggressive Command course available on demand for individuals or departments/groups. Or, if you need more time to schedule time for this training, we are planning to run another cohort in the Fall. Contact [email protected] to be added to the list to receive more information on those dates when it becomes available.
Students will have access to all course modules through June 10th. Students will have ongoing unlimited access to the recordings of the live sessions. Due to the weekly structure of this training cohort, students should attend on the scheduled live dates, and are not guaranteed to be sent the recording before the next course starts the following week. The recordings will be sent out as quickly as possible, but it will not be immediate.
