THE COMPANY OFFICER ACADEMY CHIEF JOHN SALKA (RET.) AND CHIEF RICK LASKY DAY 1 & 2
The program, “The Company Officer Academy” is the result of
numerous requests and discussions the chiefs have had with chief and
company officers across North America concerning company officer
training and preparedness. Many departments simply promote a new
company officer and send them to a new assignment with no formal
training. This often results in creating a more stressful and challenging
situation for the new officer and the unit.
Chiefs Salka and Lasky have put together a dynamic multi-day program
that addresses the many skills and abilities that company officers need
to have to be effective in the firehouse and on the fireground. This
program is designed for new company officers, current officers and
future officers.
THE COMPANY OFFICER ACADEMY (CONT’D)
CHIEF SHANNON STONE
NUGGETS FROM THE RIGHT SEAT
DAY 3
This class is designed to give legitimate, time proven practices that the
company officer can implement immediately and see instant results. All
subjects discussed in this class have been originated from on the job
trial and error. Simply put, this class was derived from failure....and out
this experience of failure we have found many critical practices that
actually works! Regardless if you work in a large or small department,
from urban or suburban, company officers face the exact same
challenges. This class will give you tons of “Nuggets” on how to deal
with the many challenges you will face as a front-line combat company
officer.
INCIDENT SAFETY OFFICER CERTIFICATION CLASS
2-DAY
This course is an in-depth, fast paced class that focuses on the knowledge and
experience-elements required of an effective ISO. It gives participants the
opportunity for situational exercises and scenario practice. The ISO Academy is an
excellent tool to help participants prepare for the FDSOA ISO Certification Exam.
The course is ideal for any fire officer who has been newly appointed as a Safety
Officer or is likely to fill the Incident Safety Officer role.
Recommended Text – Incident Safety Officer, 3rd Edition. David W.
Dodson (Available for $85 through FDSOA Shop )
Upon completion of the 16-hour Academy, you are eligible to take the exam for
National Certification onsite. Exam fee included.
This is a two-day course derived from Dave Dodson’s book: “Fire Department
Incident Safety Officer” (Jones & Bartlett, 3rd edition, 2015) and addresses ISO
components of NFPA 1521 (2015). The course is a realistic, street-applicable
approach to performing the functions of the Incident Safety Officer at fires and
other working incidents. The class serves as an excellent study tool for those
challenging the ISO certification test for the National Professional Qualifications
Board administered through the Fire Department Safety Officers’
Association. This class is far more detailed and “street-practical” than the
National Fire Academy’s two-day ISO field course and is driven by incident scene
video footage and group activities/discussion.
NOZZLE FORWARD
AARON FIELDS
3-DAY @ PRAIRIEVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT BURN TOWER
*TRANSPORTATION TO BE PROVIDED FROM RENAISSANCE HOTEL*
To pursue an aggressive interior attack, a firefighter must be able to
read the environment using benchmarks and quantifiable knowledge to
determine the best course of action. Within the fire service,
suppression provides the backbone for job success. Suppression is the
product of several factors; most important are fire behavior and the use
of hose in the context of the fire. The focus is on understanding the
capacity of our tools, competency, and understanding our
environment. This class teaches the skills, the skill sets, the context of
skill application, and a methodology with regard to fire attack and
handline management.

LT. RYAN PENNINGTON

Fighting fires in hoarded homes is rapidly becoming a familiar occurrence in today’s fire service.
While the mission is still the same, the tactics used when fighting these fires need to change to
make for a safer environment. This presentation will put you in the first due unit arriving at a
reported structure fire inside a Hoarded home. From hoarder recognition to salvage and
overhaul students will be exposed to the different thought process used while fighting fires in
hoarded homes. “Hoarder Homes: Piles of hazards for firefighters” will return you to quarters
with the knowledge and tools to come home safe!
The intent of this presentation is to expose the students to the ins and outs of fighting a
structural fire inside a house with a hoarder type conditions. Multiple variables will complicate
the use of normal tactics when faced with areas that are no longer able to be used for their
intended purpose. The learning objectives will be to identify factors such as hoarder front
yards, tactical changes used while fighting these types of fires, and overhaul techniques used on
massive amounts of belongings. This program hopes to introduce new ways of thinking when
engaged in fire operations inside hoarded homes.
The target audience of this program is from the chief level to the street level firefighter.
Knowing your stuff when faced with a hoarder fire is valuable to everyone on the department.
During the program all aspects of a hoarder response will be covered. The knowledge gained
can benefit everyone who attends, no matter what rank or level.
LESSONS OF SUPREME SACRIFICE
CHIEF RICK KOLOMAY
8 HOURS
When a firefighter dies in the line of duty time stands still in more ways
than one. A firefighter's death leaves a very tragic and special legacy
that is timeless. In some cases, the lesson's learned from such a
tragedy are very unique, and sadly some are a repeat of history. This
seminar combines a review of various line of duty death scenarios from
past to present era's using first-hand investigative information, NIOSH
results, some reenactment, and lessons learned that can be applied to
your fire department.
FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE KITCHEN
CHIEF RICK KOLOMAY
8 HOUR
New and experienced company officers alike end up sitting at the firehouse
kitchen table at some point during their tour of duty whether fully paid,
combination, or volunteer. In many fire departments the kitchen table is where
‘the judge, jury, and trials’ take place regarding life in the firehouse. Aside from a
cup of coffee or wholesome meal, it is also a place where much laughter takes
place and many arguments take off as the company officer is often left to
intervene.
This seminar combines the art of leadership, coaching, and refereeing as a
company officer using a mix of instructor presentation with an interactive
firehouse kitchen table to re-enact actual events that will test any good company
officer.
Each managerial and leadership challenge will be based on an actual occurrence
experienced by the instructors. Each challenge will have a brief presentation
outlining recommended behaviors for the company officer when confronted by
certain types of individuals and/or behaviors, followed by a corresponding kitchen
table challenge for willing participants who wish to not only learn, but also gain
experience!
