New and experienced incident commanders. The course can be used for continuing education credit with other incident command programs. It places the student in the officer seat of the first due company and rotates them into a battalion chief role. Even if they will never ride in the BC role, they understand that perspective to make them a better decision-maker and communicator on the fire ground.

Our simulations include:

Structure fires single-family, multi-family, commercial, strip malls, and big box.

Hazardous materials incidents while in transit and in fixed facilities.

Natural disasters such as tornadoes and flooding

Improvised explosive incidents

Mass casualty incidents

Pro Board credentials travel with the successful student and is recognized globally. This program does not dictate a specific way to manage an incident other than what is defined within the National Incident Management System. The fire service is diverse and dynamic, with cross-staffing, limited company personnel, and mutual aid all presenting challenges. No two jurisdictions are alike. This program brings those topics to the forefront and provides tools to adapt and implement a solid plan of action based on the resources you have. The key to the commander's success is to remain calm, decisive, and organized when chaos is abundant- this is at the core of the curriculum we provide.

Ascent FD ACT has partnered with Sims U Share to provide your organization the means to develop and utilize training tools to maintain your skill sets. You can always request refresher training from Ascent FD ACT with their ability to train your people and place them in the same simulations from anywhere internet access is available. These refreshers are inexpensive and easy to schedule.

Currently, the program is a 5-day, 40-hour program all completed within one week. Other options can be discussed, such as 5 Saturdays.

Minimum class size is 12 and the maximum is 20 students.

Hundreds! We can even develop simulations for your county EMA to test their response readiness for when disaster strikes. For this class, simulations are maxed at 20 participants, typically 8-12 per scenario.
