Courage To Be Safe…So Everyone Goes Home

 
Vicki Schulte, Captain, Fulton FD

This presentation, developed by the Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives Team, is intended to influence the participants toward changing the attitude that firefighter deaths are a normal and acceptable outcome. The program promotes the courage to do the right thing in order to protect firefighters from illness, injury, or Line of Duty Death So that Everyone Goes Home. The presentation examines Line of Duty Deaths both at the state and national level. Firefighters must have the courage to face a multitude of risks in order to save the lives and protect their communities. Their courage allows them to willingly risk their own lives so that others can be saved. A different type of courage is required to stay safe in potentially dangerous situations, avoiding needless risks and tragic consequences. (DFS CEU’s 4-Instructor)

Emerging Trends in Fire Department Leadership

 
Dennis Compton, Fire Chief (Retired) Mesa FD (AZ)

This workshop explores emerging trends in progressive leadership development in the fire service. Emphasis is placed on critical leadership, management, supervisory, and training practices that tend to regulate the effectiveness of individuals and organizations. A fire department is only as capable as the officers who lead the system; therefore, developing current and future fire officers is perhaps the greatest contribution we can make to our organizations. Attending this program will help any fire department accomplish that critical goal. This session is a must for all current and future officers. (DFS CEU’s 4-Instructor)

Essentials of Fire Department Customer Service – CANCELLED

 
TBA

This course describes the customer service approach. Most firefighters come from the factory with a strong action orientation and a natural inclination to focus more on the hard technical-tactical part of the job, rather than on the soft human stuff. That may explain why, up until now, even though we basically have done a good job with our customers, we have pretty much skipped talking, teaching, and certainly writing about the human aspect of service delivery. The time has come to document some of the basic human relations details involved in fire department customer service.

Fast Food Truss Roof Fires

 
John Sachen, Hazardous Materials Officer, MU FRTI Instructor of the Year, Delta FPD

The first national awareness of a very serious fire and structural collapse hazard for firefighters began at 4:30 am, February 14, 2000 as a report of fire on the roof of a McDonald’s restaurant and the subsequent line of duty deaths of two Houston firefighters when the roof collapsed. While information on the Houston fire was quickly circulated and studied, the hazards of Fast Food Truss Roof Fires have not been eliminated and the firefighter close-calls continue.
The fact that fast food restaurants are usually not big buildings and that the fires can burn undetected for 30-45 minutes compound the already serious nature of these truss roof fires. Further complicating the offensive or defensive attack decision is the use of the truss area as a machinery space and the twenty year design life of the fast food buildings–making them virtually throw-away buildings. Clearly fire service needs a clear understanding of concealed space fire behavior, collapse indicators and low risk tactics for Fast Food Truss Roof Fires.

Overcoming Temptations and Dysfunctions of Successful Leaders

 
Donna Forgy, Pro Skills Inc.

The enemy of great is good. The primary reason so few leaders or organizations ever become great is because they get good and they stop. They stop growing, learning, risking and changing. They use their track record or prior successes as evidence that they’ve arrived. Believing their own headlines, the leaders in these successful organizations are ready to write it down, build the manual and document the formula. This mentality shifts their business from a growth to maintenance mindset. This workshop is designed for present and future Chief and Company Officers who wish to know what to avoid as a leader and what to strive for. (DFS CEU’s 4-Instructor)

Rules of Engagement for Fighting Fires

 
Bobby Halton, Editor in Chief, Fire Engineering Magazine

Sunday Only: 8:00 a.m.-noon

The rules of engagement also serve to validate, help explain and support the currently popular approach to experience-based decision making. The rules describe the dynamics of why our experiences are sound and valid. Participants will practice real world tactical simulations.

Safe Operation of Fire Department Tankers – CANCELLED

 
Mike A. Wieder, Assistant Director, IFSTA

Fire department water tankers are the most likely type of fire apparatus to be involved in a fatal collision.

There has been an increase in these collisions in recent years. This program focuses on the causes and prevention of these collisions.
