Thank you to Chief 1-20 (Schramm) and Montoursville Fire Department for hosting tonight’s training utilizing our new Combat Ready Command Boards.
We’d like to thank Loyalsock Volunteer Fire Co. and Eldred Township Volunteer Fire Company for participating in tonight’s joint training focused on the Incident Commander’s Tactical Worksheet. Each department now utilizes the same command board shown in the photo below, creating a common framework for managing emergency incidents.
Chief officers from each department worked through multiple incident scenarios, discussing the effective use of the command board, implementation of tactical supervisors, accountability practices, and the expansion of operations during escalating incidents requiring multiple alarms.
The integration of these Combat Ready Command Boards will enhance fireground management through a standardized approach to command, control, and operational benchmarks. By speaking the same language and utilizing the same tools, our departments are better positioned to operate seamlessly together, improving efficiency, accountability, and ultimately the safety of both our responders and the communities we serve.
Training together today helps ensure we perform together when it matters most.
