Commanding the Mayday: Part 1

1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Commanding the Mayday: Part 1 Nothing can be so chaotic as a firefighter in trouble that calls a Mayday. &nbsp;The fire service spends a lot of time and resources in training firefighters and task level officers in techniques and methods for calling a Mayday and surviving those situations---as it should be! &nbsp;However, there has been little developed and created in the way of real, meaningful training for incident commanders to hone their skills in handling a Mayday. &nbsp; This podcast will discuss, generally, about commanding a Mayday. &nbsp;It is part 1 of a multi-part series that will focus on the IC and his/her role in handling the Mayday for a successful outcome. &nbsp; &nbsp; Our special guest for this series is Assistant Chief Joe Pronesti of the Elyria, OH Fire Department. &nbsp;He speaks from experiences and his in-depth training. &nbsp;&nbsp; Chief Pronesti will be speaking at FDIC International 2017 on&nbsp; Size-Up and Command for the Small Department: How to Avoid Being Lost in the Fog of the Fireground on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 08:00-12:00 in Rooms 132-133. Below are some examples of what Chief Pronesti is doing and offering. &nbsp; A lazy boy training of to talk about VEiS go or no go heavy fire on div 2.
