Course Goal
The goal of the Operations course is to provide an educational experience that will help the newly promoted chief officer orBattalion Chief (BC) to perform competently at an emergency incident. Although emergencies have been reduced at varying
rates, they are still the most resource intensive and dangerous component of the emergency services today.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, newly promoted chief officers and BCs will be able to:- Make strategic decisions to effectively manage an emergency incident;
- Develop an Incident Action Plan (IAP) for a complex incident and
- Preplan for target hazards.
Course Prerequisites
Students should complete the following course before enrolling in the COTC Operations course:- USFA. NIMS ICS Self-Study.
- http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is700.asp
- Also complete pre-course assignments.
Module Terminal Objectives
After completing Module 1, students will be able to determine anappropriate ICS organization for an incident.
After completing Module 2, students will be able to apply the
classical or naturalistic decision-making method in the size-up
process to identify incident objectives and strategies.
After completing Module 3, students will be able to develop an
Incident Action Plan (IAP) for a planned event, possible incident, or
an unexpected incident.
After completing Module 4, students will be able to apply the ICS
organization to an EMS incident, addressing organizational
structure, identifying resource needs, and identifying potential
problems.
After completing Module 5, students will be able to compare health
and safety laws, standards, and regulations to written Standard
Operating Guidelines (SOGs) for proper SOG content.
After completing Module 6, students will be able to demonstrate the
duties of an Incident Safety Officer (ISO).
After completing Module 7, students will be able to make critical
observations about the area of fire origin and the fire cause.
After completing Module 8, students will be able to conduct inside
and outside examinations of a fire scene and read patterns to help
determine the area of fire origin.
After completing Module 9, students will be able to perform the ICS
management roles during a nursing home fire.
After completing Module 10, students will be able to apply the ICS
organization to effectively manage an incident at a bulk storage or
tank farm facility.
After completing Module 11, students will be able to perform the
ICS management roles to effectively manage an incident involving
a structural collapse.
After completing Module 12, students will be able to apply the ICS
organization to effectively manage a terrorist incident.
After completing Module 13, students will be able to effectively use
the ICS organization to manage an incident at an enclosed mall.
After completing Module 14, students will be able to apply the ICS
organization to manage a public assembly or mass casualty
incident.
After completing Module 15, students will be able to perform the
ICS roles to effectively manage a high-rise incident.
After completing Module 16, students will be able to apply an
appropriate ICS organization to effectively manage a dormitory
incident.
After completing Module 17, students will be able to apply an ICS
organization to effectively manage a grain elevator incident.
After completing Module 18, students will be able to apply an ICS
