| Character, Attitude and Values Before Hoseline, Halligans and Hydraulic Tools-Tuesday, April 08 2025-8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.-Sussex County Fire Academy | Anthony Correia, President NJ State Fire Chiefs Association 10-15% of what firefighters do involve Hoselines, Halligans, and hydraulic tools. 100% of what firefighters do involve Character, Attitude, and Values, yet we put most of our emphasis on tactical skills, not the people skills we use most often. Don’t get me wrong, it’s extremely important to be tactically proficient. However, many case studies of fireground “accidents” demonstrate it’s poor decision making due to carelessness, ignorance or freelancing are individually or collectively are many times the issue. In addition over 80% of the time, our interaction with others is not at emergency incidents. We have never-ending daily media reports of firefighters arrested for moral, ethical, and dishonorable actions. Firefighters behaving badly is not an anomaly, it is a regular occurrence. Fire officers regularly complain of new, as well as seasoned firefighters lacking character, poor attitude, and lacking core values consistent with the fire service’s mission. There are many fewer complaints regarding tactical competency.The deficiency in Character, Attitude, Values usually comes from a systemic lack of a fire department with plans, programs, and processes in place to address interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and organizational values. This program will bridge the gap between tactical and interpersonal attributes. This program will provide a framework to proactively implement plans and processes to improve interpersonal skills and the attributes that go with them. | https://keanolt.ourclassroom.net/enrol/index.php?id=2495 |

| Think Like an Incident Commander -Wednesday, April 23 2025-8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.-Bergen County Fire Academy | Thomas Dunne, Deputy Chief, New York City Fire Dept. What is an incident commander seeing, thinking, and feeling when he supervises a fire operation? Tactics may vary at various incidents but the one constant is the incident commander’s thought process. How is his view of a fire different and how can his perspective make you a more effective firefighter? This lecture illustrates key points in preparation, size up, fire ground decision making, command, and communications. Through the use of case studies, photos, and videos, students are presented with the challenges inherent with rapid emergency decision making and are offered tools to help them function safely and effectively. This course is relevant for chiefs and company officers, however the concepts developed are also vital for firefighters of all ranks. A chief, company officer, or firefighter who has the ability to think like an incident commander is better prepared to make confident and effective decisions on the fireground. | https://keanolt.ourclassroom.net/enrol/index.php?id=2523 |
| Thinking Beyond First Due at Townhouse and Multi-Residential Complexes-Saturday, May 03 2025-8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.-Camden County Fire Academy | Robert G. Moran, Fire Chief, (Ret.) Brewster, MA Fire/Rescue, Fire Chief (Ret.) City of Englewood, NJ and John J. Lewis, Lieutenant (Ret.) City of Passaic FD and Bergen County Fire Academy When ascending through the ranks fire service leaders will face a variety of foreign and adverse operational, administrative, and personnel related challenges. In order to become an effective, respected, self-motivated, and dynamic leader capable of managing through these difficult situations one must build a solid foundation of practical leadership based knowledge, skills, and abilities. If you are searching for an exceptional leadership program that will deliver these vital capabilities in a forum different from the typical uninspiring and predictable human resource based training session then this is the course for you. Using an interactive forum and years of experience in volunteer, career, and combination type fire departments the instructors will discuss the leadership traits, styles, and emotional intelligence necessary to turn department members into effective followers, cohesive teams, and organizational all-stars. The theory of “You Own It All” leadership in which bosses accept the crucial responsibility of ensuring their subordinates are well trained, disciplined, support department goals and objectives, and remain consistently prepared will be identified and examined. Additional program elements include sections on discipline, building robust relationships, coaching, mentoring, communication, and the recognition of several other leadership methodologies such as respect, loyalty, trust, honesty, and empowerment that foster team building and company and organizational excellence. While many of us wish the days of “because I said so” leadership and management still thrived in the fire service the reality is that we will never see those times again. Today’s employees are smarter, more communicative, better educated, socially adept, and inquisitive. Join us for a dynamic, group based discussion on how to become the type of company officer and fire department executive who is capable of surviving in today’s fire service and fire prevention leadership world. | https://keanolt.ourclassroom.net/enrol/index.php?id=2553 |
