NIMS-ICS for the Fire Service (16-hour)Incident command is a concept given considerable attention within the fire service. This course will help students recognize the importance of an effective system and understand the various components that provide the basis for that system. The requirements necessary to make the system functional will be discussed. With DHS assistance in providing and mandating a single ICS, this Nation’s emergency response personnel will move in the direction of greater management harmony, which will ensure much more effective management of America’s major emergencies. It is extremely important that the students realize that the ICS has application in small and large fire departments; at simple and complex events; and in career, combination, and volunteer organizations. Students will be allowed to compare benefits of the ICS to their own department or jurisdiction to demonstrate to themselves that the effective implementation of the ICS and its subsequent use will have a positive effect on their incident management.Dates: September 13 & 14; 08:00 – 16:30 Instructor: Stephen Lane Registration Form November 9; 08:00 - 16:30 & 12 & 13; 18:30 – 22:30 Instructor: Stephen Lane Registration Form *NOTE to our membership and local Fire Departments: Due to the possible financial cost of directly sponsoring training, the York County Fire Police Association has adopted a policy where we will not sponsor training. We will aid, assist, and in every way guide any FD or group through how to set up classes, BUT the sponsor must understand one important fact: The sponsor will be billed $50 for each position less than 15 students by the college. The Community Colleges will provide a wide variety of training classes, both as part of the Pennsylvania Fire Academy programs and some outside of the Academy. Their funding is dependent on the number of students trained. Therefore, they have all adopted policies to offset the costs of classes that are too small. This fee was not adopted lightly, nor without regrets on their part. Before setting up a course, please contact us and we will set the information up on this site. You can then examine the interest and provide the appropriate follow-through. |
