Fireground Responsibilities of the Incident Commander Training Schedule Announced


NYSAFC is pleased to announce that additional Fireground Responsibilities of the Incident Commander training programs have been scheduled for 2017.

The goal of this free 16-hour program is to assist fire departments in meeting the Best Practices for Incident Commanders as outlined by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Office of Fire Prevention and Control and referenced by the New York State Department of Labor Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau.

Through lecture and discussion, along with class activities and case studies, students will learn and apply the principles of fireground safety and supervision.

This training series is being delivered through a grant from the New York State Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Training and Education Program.
