The Command Institute
at EMAC International has developed the vitally
important and acclaimed
First-Due Series of specialized courses. The series
addresses the fundamental and crucial strategic
and tactical operations for First-Due company arrival
and deployments. These courses focus on establishing
objectives and considerations that affect first
arriving
companies for emergency incidents. They will explore
the required “street smart” understanding
built upon years of street level emergency incident
responses and the experience gained from those
engagements. First-Due reinforces the need for
recognition-primed
decision-making (RPD), effective action plan development,
and response company implementation.
|
|
|
 |
These essential courses are designed for
firefighters, company officers, incident commanders and
command teams. Participants will reinforce their skills
on basic strategic and tactical deployment. And they
will be able to expand street level company and command
officer proficiencies. They will learn how to integrate
RPD skills with strategic and tactical objectives to
develop concise incident action plans.
|
The
series breaks down the Incident Action
Plan into its elements of emergency scene
dynamics, priorities, safety and the interaction
of primary and support resources. Participants
will use case studies to examine intrinsic
incident factors and universal incident
management
strategic and tactical protocols that form
the constants in emergency incident engagement.
The First-Due Series addresses the need
for effective size-up
skills using RPD and effective
and achievable Incident Action
Plans (IAP). These are challenges
that face all agencies and
organizations based upon the frequency, magnitude
and severity of initiation
incident
events.
|
|
The First-Due Series courses can be adapted to address
pertinent local and regional issues for participants.
These can range from anything affecting agency specific
tactical operations, protocols and standard operating
procedures, deployment and response factors, and
command and safety considerations.
|
|
|
They can also focus on specific gap issues
identified within your jurisdiction. Program
length can vary and can be developed based
upon client needs and specifications. These
programs can be offered as short version
presentations and presented in conjunction
with REACT™ tabletop command simulator
boards to bridge classroom concepts with
hands-on simulation training opportunities
for skill development.

FD 100 - First-Due
Command: Building Construction Factors for Fire Fighter
Safety and Survival
Combat structural fire suppression operations require decisive skills and knowledge
in assessing buildings and occupancies. Those responding need a solid understanding
of inherent collapse potential, fire behavior and fire spread considerations.
They also need command decision-making to assure appropriate strategic incident
plans are initiated. This program will examine crucial first-due command risk
assessment factors and resource management to increase firefighter survivability
under combat structural operations. Participants will learn how to develop mission
critical objectives, risk profiles and Incident Action Plans. The First-Due series
incorporates the most current NIMS command management protocols and organization.

FD 105 - First-Due Considerations
for Mass Casualty Incidents
Mass Casualty Incidents call for an in-depth understanding of the development
of an Incident Action Plan (IAP). Incident Commanders and Incident Command
Action Teams will be presented with a wide variety of Mass Casualty Incident
scenarios. They will learn how to develop an IAP taking into consideration
emergency operations, size-up, risk priorities and recognition-primed decision-making
(RPD) during a mass casualty event. Case studies and interactive activities
are incorporated within the course. The First-Due series incorporates the most
current NIMS command management protocols and organization.
FD 106 - First-Due Considerations
for EMS Command
This course targets the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Incident Commander
and members of the EMS Incident Command Action Team. They will learn mission
critical assignment functions specific to EMS incidents. The course will emphasize
the development of the Incident Action Plan (IAP). Participants will review
elements of an effective IAP by assessing emergency operations, recognition-primed
decision-making (RPD), size-up and risk priorities for EMS incidents. Case
studies and interactive activities are incorporated within the course. The
