Nick Martin, Frank Malta, Kevin Burges, and Sean Donovan discuss the two primary fireground command models: Incident Command Driven vs. Predetermined Assignment (SOG Driven) fireground command.

They get into challenges and tips for operating in both environments, and how each affects our ability to rapidly deploy firefighters to get water on the fire and hands on the victim as fast as possible.

We'll be talking with Frederick County Fire & Rescue's Battalion Chief Frank Malta and Captain Sean Donovan about their top notch Recruit Training Academy. If you follow Chief Malta (@firefightnchief) on Instagram - you've no doubt seen this hardcore recruit school that builds motivated, disciplined firefighters.

Join us as we talk about the mindsets, concepts, and practices behind this training academy and the high-quality firefighters that it produces.

When should you deploy a SEARCH ROPE? What is it used for? What are the best techniques for utilizing it? 🪢🧐👨🏻‍🚒

We'll be talking about search rope operations, our equipment setup, and our workflows - including video and lessons learned from deployment on some real fires. Nick will be joined by Kevin Burges (Captain), Jake Richardson (Engineer) and Christian Lambis (Firefighter) from the Salisbury (NC) Fire Dept.

How do you build a #CombatReady culture in your company/department? 🤔👨🏻‍🚒

It starts with you, in whatever position or rank you are in.

We'll talk about their workflows, daily actions, fireground actions, and how their mindsets contribute to building an effective and cohesive company. Join Nick, Kevin Burges (Captain), Jake Richardson (Engineer) and Christian Lambis (Firefighter), from Salisbury Ladder 1 for some tactical truck company talk.
