Operationalizing Data in the Fire Service (4 hour)
This workshop provides an overview of how fire departments can capture and operationalize data to better meet their core missions. From the perspective of the fire officer, the program covers core data sources from the CAD, record management systems, and other tactical sources of information and how to best configure each for optimal performance and analysis. Common department data analytics functions and configurations will be presented along with tools commonly used in the data field. The course will go beyond common response time measurements to explore how measuring tactical benchmarks can help improve the operational performance of key fireground tasks and roles.
Real-life examples are provided of Departments leveraging data and technology to better service their communities. Attendees leave with tangible road-maps for data-informed success!
Learning Objectives:
· Present common fire department approaches to organizing data management functions and analysis.
· Identify key sources of data used in measuring fire department performance.
· Present basic methods of organizing and utilizing data and common tools used for basic data analytics.
· Discuss best practices for quality assurance related to data assumptions and outcomes.
· Present tactical data metrics that can be used to improve operational performance on the fireground.
· Discuss how the future of data analytics will impact the fire service via professional standards and national reporting and compliance.
Bringing Fire Dynamics Research to The Fireground - SLICE-RS
This course is a real-world case study of taking the latest in fire dynamics research to the street level. While most agree that the latest research can improve firefighter safety, they struggle to translate the research into fireground tactics and implement that change in a successful manner. This program rethinks the tactics of old and incorporates the latest research into tactics using the S.L.I.C.E.-R.S method. S.L.I.C.E.-R.S is an acronym developed to “operationalize” fire dynamic research concepts. The program allows departments to leverage the research lessons to become even more aggressive and effective in protecting occupants and controlling the hazards at a structure fire. The program also discusses overcoming resistance to change and the lessons learned in real-world implementation. The learning objectives of this course are:
- Participants shall be aware of the outcomes of recent research in fire dynamics and their direct impact on firefighter safety
- Participants shall understand predictable resistance to change and strategies and considerations to overcome this resistance.
- Participants shall be oriented to S.L.I.C.E.R.S. tactical acronym and methods to train department members in its use.
A case study will be presented on how Hanover Fire and EMS successfully migrated to this method and the lessons learned along the way. The intent is for the participants to benefit from that experience and be better prepared to take this new life-saving information back to their departments.
Leading With Attitude for Company Officers (4 or 8 hours)
Fire service company officers have the ability to solve complex problems with varying resources in a dynamic environment at an emergency scene. They can mitigate challenging issues that no one could ever predict with creativity, ingenuity, and speed. Corporate America would love to learn our secret for such a gift. Imagine if company officers used that same skill to lead, coach and counsel their troops at the fire station! Leading with attitude focuses on how to become the best “leader of you” that you can be so that you are prepared and capable to lead others. The program challenges company officers of all experience levels to perform at an elite level and prepares them to lead elite teams (their company). Learn how to lead negative people, and more importantly, manage your own propensity for negative thought. The program is highly interactive and dynamic and is a must for every company level leader.

Learn how to empower your young leaders and encourage creativity and ingenuity, while increasing accountability. Discover methods to move your organization through difficult challenges and changes while maintaining integrity and respect.
Secrets of the Rock Star Engine Company!
This program provides insight into elite performers and elite team performance. Talent is good, but it is never enough. Eddie has learned a lot of strategies for success in the music business that he can bring to the fire service! Case studies of elite performers are used to identify common behaviors that firefighters can leverage to improve their performance in the station, on the fireground, and as part of their company. If you are ready to take your individual and company performance to the next level, then maybe you are ready to be a rock star! ALL LEVELS Pictured below with Rich Redmond (Jason Aldean Band)
