CAPTAIN MIKE GAGLIANO & LIEUTENANT PAUL COMBS PRESENTING:
Fireground FUBAR – The Stuff That Messes You Up
We all have those experiences where things don’t go quite the way we expected. Despite our best planning, commitment to training and all-out effort on scene, things get messed up. What can we do to close the gap on fires operations that are well-executed, despite all the variables and uncertainties we face, and those that go sideways?
This class will take an honest look at some of my blind spots, mistakes and planning errors that resulted in bad things happening. They are common areas of oversight that have an outsized impact on successful and unsuccessful operations. We’ll explore things you can do in advance of the alarm sounding, as well as the obvious problems when you’re in the middle of the battle and evaluating the results when it’s done. We can’t control everything and recognizing that is essential. But analyzing some of the aspects of training and planning that we can enhance, allows us to avoid “unforced errors” and mental mistakes. This experience-based training will provide solid answers to common mistakes that continue to “mess us up” and allow FUBAR to rear its ugly head

Attack With Passion
Like any fire truck, every firefighter possesses a unique set of tools that can be used to achieve a set goal or to make a positive difference. Passion, Tools, and Cartoons will explore the ability to lead others using these unique communication skills. Students will be encouraged, in an interactive environment, to seek out their own unique voice to influence and lead the people around them. When vision is applied to voice, and fueled by passion, anything is possible!
Instructors Capt. Mike Gagliano and Fire Engineering cartoonist Paul Combs will present an interactive and visually engaging class where students are encouraged to speak about what makes a quality leader, and the unique ways that a leader may communicate their vision. Emphasis will be placed on the need for different ideas, insights and ways of making your vision a reality.
As the instruction is being presented, primarily by Mike, Paul will work on a unique cartoon specifically designed for the class. At times the instruction will allude to what is being done on the screen in relation to the topic. Each member of the class will be given a digital image of the finished product, and one member (or as determined by hosting agency) will be selected for the original (Signed by Paul and Mike).
The combined impact of the visual and instructed message will leave a lasting impact on the message of the class
