City of Passaic FD and Bergen County Fire Academy According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards the position of Fire Department Safety Officer is tasked with fulfilling the dual roles emergency scene Incident Safety Officer (ISO) and the departments Health and Safety Officer (HSO). By definition, the (ISO) is tasked to identify and eliminate hazards associated with unsafe actions at emergency incidents while the (HSO) focuses issues such as Fires in ordinary and lightweight constructed Strip Malls are complex and dangerous events. They are without a doubt unlike any other structure fire we respond to. The strategy and tactics required to develop a safe and successful incident action plan and fire suppression operation within these large complexes that contain many interconnected and potentially dangerous occupancies requires exceptional pre-incident knowledge of the facility, outstanding incident command and control, and an expert understanding of the involved hazards and construction types. To enhance our ability to operate at fires safely and effectively within these complexes this program will take an in-depth look at the fire problems associated with these structures while offering useful information on pre-incident inspection and pre-planning, size up, strategy and tactics, command and control, incident safety, accountability, resource deployment, and fire attack methods. |

If you are searching for an exceptional leadership program that will deliver these vital capabilities in a forum different from the typical uninspiring and predictable human resource based training session then this is the course for you. Using an interactive forum and years of experience in volunteer, career, and combination type fire departments the instructors will discuss the leadership traits, styles, and emotional intelligence necessary to turn department members into effective followers, cohesive teams, and organizational all-stars. The theory of “You Own It All” leadership in which bosses accept the crucial responsibility of ensuring their subordinates are well trained, disciplined, support department goals and objectives, and remain consistently prepared will be identified and examined. Additional program elements include sections on discipline, building robust relationships, coaching, mentoring, communication, and the recognition of several other leadership methodologies such as respect, loyalty, trust, honesty, and empowerment that foster team building and company and organizational excellence. While many of us wish the days of “because I said so” leadership and management still thrived in the fire service the reality is that we will never see those times again. Today’s employees are smarter, more communicative, better educated, socially adept, and inquisitive. Join us for a dynamic, group based discussion on how to become the type of company officer and fire department executive who is capable of surviving in today’s fire service and fire prevention leadership world. |

Reviewing the adaptive challenges facing emergency services today to create a safer environment. All learning utilizes real-world incidents to learn and adapt our actions so everyone does go home! This program is specifically designed for the more senior level fire officers who have had opportunities to be command officers at a wide variety of emergency incidents, including fires and hazardous materials responses. Utilizing case studies, the learning objectives become more real to life and the possibility of changing the organizational culture to reduce the possibility of deaths and injuries in the future. |

| https://keanolt.ourclassroom.net/enrol/index.php?id=2292 | Resiliency Is the Way-Friday, May 10 2024-8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.-Toms River Fire Academy | LIVE-May-10052024-1 | Dr. David Griffin, Assistant Chief, Charleston (SC) Fire Department Have we done a good job of developing resilient firefighters? Have we given them the tools to succeed during a profession where we respond to the worst day of someone's life? Unfortunately, the research on mental health and suicide rates of emergency responders indicates that we have an issue that must be addressed. Therefore, during this class we will focus on why post-traumatic stress, acute stress disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder affect emergency responders all over the world and how we can provide resiliency training to combat this. Quite often emergency responders do not understand why they are feeling a certain way mentally and physically from the trauma witnessed on emergency scenes. This creates many challenges both personally and professionally. Furthermore, responders may not know where to go for help or are afraid to ask for help due to the stigma and "suck it up" mentality plaguing emergency services. Also, during this course, David will discuss the signs, symptoms, and differences of posttraumatic stress, acute stress disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder from research and from his own personal experience. He will then outline stress management strategies that can be used in the firehouse and where responders can go for help. These tools and techniques have been used for decades to combat stress and require no funding. It only requires a willingness to learn and take the information back to your department members to help save those who save others. |

Cales, Asset Protection Manager, Public Service Enterprise Group, Detective Sergeant (Ret.), Arson Investigations Unit, Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office As a fire service professional, it is inevitable that you will be called upon to make a departmental presentation, provide instruction to other fire fighters, or perhaps, you may have to speak in front of a civic group, or to a group of non-fire service people on a fire service topic. Being able to feel comfortable in that atmosphere takes preparation, practice and presentation skills. Knowing the subject, and having the knowledge, the experience, and the background to say it correctly is probably not the issue at hand it's knowing how to say it, and how to present the topic and the material so that others understand that often is the problem for the speaker/presenter. |

Moran, Fire Chief, Brewster, MA and John J. Lewis, Lieutenant (Ret.) City of Passaic FD and Bergen County Fire Academy “Leading From The Front Seat” used to be a term reserved for company officers whose main mission was supervising those subordinates riding on his or her fire apparatus. However, in today’s fire service this is no longer the case. To assume the “seat” both firefighters and fire officers need to be operationally adept, administratively skilled, technologically informed, and conscious of how to handle the daily needs and challenges related to the personnel surrounding them. Volunteer, combination, or full-time, the size and type of your department will not matter when it comes to determining who gets the right to sit in the front seat. This is not a job or task that should be taken lightly and the higher you move up in the fire officer world the more complex and challenging it will become. It takes focus, hard work and effort, training, purpose, commitment, and excellent people skills to become someone who others can trust to lead them into battle, protect them outside of the fire scene, and offer empathy and direction. In this interactive program these two veteran fire officers will deliver valuable real-life experience encompassing tactical fireground tips, personnel management principles and beliefs, and individual and team-based behaviors that can produce both personal and organizational success. Students will be tasked with communicating and sharing their own views on these opinions and the knowledge, skills, and abilities central to building cohesive teams and organizations. These are principles the instructors have shared with firefighters across the country in their back page column titled “Leading From The Front Seat” which is published quarterly in the New York State Fire Chiefs Associations “SIZE-UP” magazine. |
