In October 2023, Battalion Chief Curt Isakson will present a three day groundbreaking conference program, Tactical Deviation: Circumstance Driven Decision Making for the Fireground, on Pensacola Beach Florida at the brand new Fairfield Inn & Suites. This limited seating learning opportunity is designed to address a critical gap in traditional fire scene command and control courses.

Providing education in Tactical Deviation represents a significant advancement in fire scene command and control training. This new approach to circumstance driven fireground decision-making emphasizes recognizing when to deviate from time-proven tactics.

Critical attention is emphasized throughout that departing from an established course or accepted standard must be a conscious decision based on the circumstances at hand and continue to align with the operational priorities of Life Safety, Incident Stabilization, and Property Preservation.
