Online Webinars

This brand new, dynamic, and interactive 90-minute webinar will help both aspiring and current officers by giving you sets and reps of fire simulations. This is the eleventh of a new series called “The Fire Sim Lab” where students will participate in fireground simulations and command post footage of homes, duplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, garden and center hall apartments, big box, strip mall, commercial and mayday fires. We continue with “The Fire Sim Lab – Module 11: Vegetation Fires.” Vegetation fires include light, flashy and moderate fuels. Weather and topography are the other two primary contributing factors in vegetation fires. These have become more lethal over the last decade as urban sprawl and drought have created a more volatile Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). The combination of perimeter control and structure defense are the primary objectives, yet resources are dynamic. Many fundamentals of incident command apply, such as proper size up and clear incident objectives. The NIOSH 5 can easily align in the early stages of a vegetation fire. Join Battalion Chief Anthony Kastros, author of the Fire Engineering best seller, Mastering the Fire Service Assessment Center, and Mastering Fireground Command – Calm the Chaos! He will take you through multiple simulations in which you will improve and test your skills. This is a new, one-of-kind, hands-on, interactive webinar designed to help you promote, or get better at your current job!
