Course Description

This course educates fire officers in how to make changes in their departments that will help prevent line of duty deaths. The fire officer leadership training course begins with the devastating impact of an LODD and the surprising fact that many contributing factors to LODDs result from the fire service culture, the reinforcement of unsafe behaviors, and breakdowns in safety priorities. The course then explains how a balanced approach of leadership, accountability, culture, and knowledge can reverse these contributing factors and help prevent LODDs. In each of these four areas, the fire officer leadership training course provides practical and specific information that the fire officer can immediately implement to save firefighter lives and reduce injuries.
