Presented by Battalion Chief Stanton Cooke with Spokane Valley Fire Department.
On a structure fire, the initial incident commander is faced with the expectation of making critical decisions in a compressed time frame. 'CRITICAL THINKING for the INITIAL IC' uses Bloom's Taxonomy and Costas' Levels of Intellectual Functioning methodology in addressing Critical Thinking as applied to the Initial IC when dealing with structure fires. We also look at the components and relationship of 'Criteria Based Decision Making' with 'Recognition Primed Decision Making' as they apply to fire ground decisions. Students will understand which criteria are critical and how to utilize these criteria in making effective decisions. This is a 22.5 hour, interactive class designed for the Initial Incident Commander whether the student is a Company Officer or Response Chief.
Subjects that will also be covered include:
-Fire Dynamics/Reading Smoke
-Applying Strategic and Tactical Priorities
-Pitfalls in Decision Making
