Safety" — A three part program":
Presented by Lieutenant
Ray McCormack, Fire Department, City of New York
Lineboss:
The decisions made by the engine officer directly impact the safety
of everyone on the fireground. This section examines the fireground

and stretching techniques for fires in private dwellings, multiple
dwellings, high-rise, and commercial buildings. Learn to separate
what works from what doesn’t and why.

Company Errors – The Dirty Dozen: This section examines the twelve
most common tactical errors made by engine companies on the
fireground. These errors have led to firefighter injuries and
deaths. Learn how to recognize and avoid making these errors.
Tactical
Safety: This class examines several dozen tactical safety procedures
to incorporate into your daily fireground operations. These
procedures will increase your operational safety and reduce
fireground injuries. Through the use of video, discussion, case

Thursday, March 25, 2010 — "Proper
Firefighting Mindset Leads to Strategic and Tactical Success":
Presented by District
Chief Dave McGrail, Denver
Fire Department
Because
most of our emergency responses don’t turn out to be major events,
we as human beings can slowly succumb to the deadly disease of
complacency, and bad habits can quickly take hold. Even with the
best of intentions, and clearly knowing what the "right
thing" to do is; we can find ourselves taking short cuts, and
relying on luck to get us out of trouble.
It is only
through the application of good habits, at every incident, that we
can begin to ensure the best possible outcome. This interactive
workshop will help the attendee identify the direct correlation
between the development and application of good daily habits, and
success on the fireground.
The concept of
the "Proper Firefighting Mind-Set" will be introduced and
reinforced throughout the day. Fireground operations, from a small
vehicle fire, to a fast moving fire on the upper floors of a
high-rise building will be discussed. Slides, videos, and various
real life case studies will be used to illustrate the result of both
good habits and bad.
Attendees will leave
energized, with a renewed dedication to the development of good
habits, and their consistent application on the fireground.

"The Station Fire: An
Incident Commander’s Perspective": Presented
by Deputy Chief Mike Bryant, Los Angeles County Fire Department
What started out on
August 26, 2009 as a 10-acre brush fire in the Angeles National
Forest above the City of La Canada rapidly turned into the largest
fire ever recorded in the history of Los Angeles County and the
tenth largest in California history.
Deputy Chief
Bryant was one of the Unified Incident Commanders on the Station
Fire. His presentation will be in two parts. Part one will include
an overview of the command challenges and accomplishments throughout
the Station Incident. Part two will include an overview of the
events leading up to the sad and tragic deaths of two Los Angeles
County firefighters while performing fire fighting operations at
Fire Camp 16.
In
the spirit of our shared interest in the safety and care for our
fellow firefighters, and with Chief Bryant’s affiliation with Fire
Nuggets, he is donating his time to make this presentation. Fire
Nuggets will donate a portion of the proceeds of this seminar to the
families of fallen Los Angeles County Firefighters Tedmund Hall and
Arnaldo Quinones.
