I’m excited to be teaching Command and Control of Incident Operations at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Md. I’ll be instructing with my friend Terry Clements, Division Chief (Ret) from Clearwater (Florida) Fire Rescue.

I’ll be working with my friend and retired district chief Curtis Rice teaching at the October 2015 Officer Development Series at Palm Beach Fire Rescue. Curtis will review Situation Awareness and Reading a House and I’ll explain Command Strategies for Incident Operations. We’ll study building designs and systems, talk about some problem-solving techniques and resource management, and play a few strategic decision-making games.
