The ONE OF A KIND, 40-hour Battalion Chief Leadership & Tactics event will take place October 13th – 19th, 2024 in Pensacola Beach, Florida at the Spring Hill Suites by Marriott. BCBC October ’24 will enhance even the most experienced Command Officer. Check-in Starts Sunday October 13, 2024 at 3:00 PM.

This seventy attendee cohort learning concept is about MAXIMIZING every moment, Sunday Night through Saturday Morning. Be ready and willing for a 100% ALL IN, classroom participation learning experience, inclusive social learning experience, and opportunity for attendees to form a professional networking group to build your Chief Officer skills, and continuing to share experiences together.

STRONG COMMAND MAXIMIZES STRONG TACTICS NEW VIDEO BELOW

Throughout the week Chief Isakson will share his successes and failures based on over 19 years of real world experiences as a line Battalion Chief in a Metro County responding to ALL FIRES on-duty, and sometime off-duty.

View a glimpse of Chief Ike’s command and control in this newly released video below.

ATTENDEES WILL LEAVE WITH A BOOK OF NOTES FROM THEIR WEEK OF LEARNING

While Chief Isakson downloads his experiences and knowledge, students will be able to listen and focus on lectures instead of trying to take notes. Kyle Romagus will be writing notes on large white board at the front of the room. All attendees can take pictures of the whiteboard(s). These notes will be transcribed. At the end of the week, attendees will leave with a structured set of notes like a book.

This will be a very unique training opportunity. It will be HUGE for students that are not that great at taking notes, and operating in a county fire department that provides fire protection in a very diverse setting.

Check out the summary below and use the link above to read the full article on Firehouse.com. Also be sure to scroll down for links to Chief Isakson’s 10 additional articles on Firehouse.com

Command & Control Success: Water Supply & Supporting Fire Flow for a Given Fire (Summary)

Curt Isakson delves into the critical aspects of water supply in firefighting, especially for county and suburban departments. He contrasts their needs with urban strategies, emphasizing that one size does not fit all in fire control. The article discusses the evolution of water delivery from simple buckets to sophisticated booster tanks, highlighting the importance of a sustainable and sufficient water supply to combat fires effectively.

Isakson addresses key technical details like hose size, nozzle selection, pump pressure, and the various means of delivering water, including the traditional ‘can’ and modern engines. He stresses the importance of understanding the capabilities and limitations of different equipment in managing the fire’s intensity and ensuring a quick and effective response.

The piece also explores the intricacies of staffing for effective water delivery, noting the significance of adequate personnel in maneuvering equipment and executing fireground tactics. Isakson’s insights offer a nuanced view of the challenges faced in different firefighting environments, urging a reevaluation of traditional methods and staffing models to adapt to contemporary needs.

He concludes with real-world implications, illustrating the balance between water supply and timely victim rescue. By discussing recent incidents, Isakson underscores the importance of prioritizing life-saving tactics and adapting water supply strategies to meet the immediate demands of fire incidents. The article is a call to action for departments to reassess and evolve their strategies for water supply and fire suppression, considering the unique needs of their respective jurisdictions. For the full insights and detailed recommendations, readers are encouraged to view the article in its entirety at the published magazine online.
