Incident Command Training in Edmonton
In May, the Effective Command Canada team was invited to Edmonton Fire Department by interim Fire Chief David Lazenby to deliver high level incident command training to all 10 of its principal officers. This included a full incident command training day, exploring situational awareness, decision making, communication, command and incident review behaviours, whilst completing several scenarios as a group. This training was followed by dedicated scenario sessions, utilizing localized incidents based on real risks within Edmonton. Each officer took command of the incident as it progressed to a 3rd alarm Fire call. This was the first delivery of the Effective Command program in Alberta and received outstanding feedback across the board.
“Realistic, Complex & Challenging”
“Awesome invaluable experience”
“Great scenarios felt like the real deal, loved and appreciated the complexity of the scenarios and the level of work put in to make them credible.”
“Effective Command has value, No Question. Expanding our thinking and approaches to handling complex events is crucial and this training will give the tools needed”
We look forward to exploring options to expand the use of the Effective Command program throughout Edmonton Fire Department.
