    Description
    This course provides the study of fundamental principles of fire tactics and strategy under fireground conditions and procedures for effective development and application of pre-fire plans. Fire emergency problems are critically analyzed and definitive coping strategies are examined as it relates to staffing resources, equipment and extinguishing agents available during the emergency incident. This course meets the National Fire Academy, Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) curriculum model for the Strategy and Tactics Course. This course is also aligned with the State of California Fire Marshal "All Risk Command for Company Officers" (2D) certification track series. This course proposal addresses the needs for students needing a more flexible format to attend firefighting training. This proposal allows students an opportunity to complete modules to gain firefighter certifications that lead to gainful employment. Additionally, this course is aligned with our stakeholders and constituents of the El Dorado Fire Consortium, connecting the fire service to a collegiate Accredited Regional Training Program (ARTP). A field trip may also be required at the discretion of the instructor.
