                                                 water application and searches), the three main types of conditions expected and how to manage each
                                                 condition individually. A focus will highlight firefighter safety operating in/around these conditions 
                                                 as well as the information chain that is 
critical to the incident commander to continually evaluate the

                                                 having, implementing and understanding an 
Incident Action Plan will provide the framework for a 
                                                 safe and successful operation. Relying heavily on case studies, this class will provide an overview of

                                                 locating/confining the fire, getting water on the fire, conducting primary searches, knocking down the

                                                moments to implement a "tactical pause" using various performance skills and stress inoculation
                                                strategies to increase resiliency and the likeliness of sustained success.
