2020 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Leading at The Company Level (Room 1D)

19 Feb 20
1:00 PM - 2:45 PM

Tracks: Company Officer

It is well known that the transition to Company officer is one of the most difficult transitions in the fire service. This class will offer solutions to many of the challenges that an Officer faces. Attendees will be presented with proven methodologies, behaviors, and new age ideas to allow for new company officers to increase their effectiveness in all areas of responsibility. Too often tactical proficiency and command presence are not emphasized enough to both aspiring and new officers and quite often this is where respect is based at the company level. This class will enlighten attendees to training techniques, leadership methods, and tactical actions that will increase effectiveness as a company officer both in the station and on the fire ground.
