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.
