Course Code: MSS 742

Duration: 16 Hr. 2D

Course Objectives:

Communication failures, poor decision making, lack of situational awareness, poor task allocation and leadership failures are listed as the contributing factors in far too many Fire fighter Line-of-Duty Death Reports. Since the factors are the same as those cited in aviation disaster reports, applying to the fire and emergency service is logical.
