They Did What?This presentation will review events from around the country that demonstrate inappropriate actions taken by fire service personnel. The presentation will review those actions, how the media portrays those actions and identify ways those actions could have been prevented. This presentation is not limited to strategy and tactics of the fireground. The focus is on inappropriate actions wherever they occur and how you can avoid having those actions show up in your fire depart-ment. These include inappropriate personnel actions, harass-ment, embezzlement, hostile work environments as well as operational issues such as driving and response procedures. You won’t believe what they just did!

Motivation in Training . . . Getting it Back to Your DepartmentThis class was developed and designed to assist fire departments both large and small to help overcome the lack of motivation in their training. So many times regardless if we are a paid firefighter or a volunteer firefighter we find any “excuse” not to attend training. This class identifies why we do not train, and how we can look at some options to get motivated to attend training, be productive at training, and help our fellow brothers and sisters to become motivated to train. This program also looks at the reason why we need to train and the results if we don’t. This is an interactive class getting to know the students and the issues in their own departments. We will use class participation, video, and even use our emotions as a motivator.

Integration, Are YOU Ready?This class discusses the hot topic of Fire/EMS’s role during an active threat (shooter) incident to stop the dying. How safe is safe enough? Fire/EMS can no longer allow victims of these horrific incidents to die while we wait for the magic term “scene safe” before we enter and begin treatment. Fire/EMS must integrate with law enforcement and law enforcement must integrate with Fire/EMS, which means we must TALK AND TRAIN with each other to accomplish the mission to stop the killing and stop the dying. We will discuss the importance of establishing ICS, developing zones of operation, integrating with law enforcement to establish a rescue task force and/or a casualty collection point and treatment of these patients in a higher threat area based on the E-TECC guidelines.

Who’s in Charge Around Here & Whose Money Is It AnywayIn this workshop, you will learn how Iowa’s fire and emergency response departments are formed and governed. This will help you understand how your department is managed and who’s in charge – all the way from municipal and township departments to 28E Agencies, benefited fire districts and corporate departments.

From this base knowledge, you will learn how the money from townships and cities is managed, who controls it and how it flows. You will learn how to work with cities and townships to maximize your resources. The benefits of forming a nonprofit corporation to manage grants and donations will be described.

Why should you participate in this workshop? Without an understanding of the basic organization and structure of emergency services and the flow of money, you can’t effectively control and manage your department. This workshop puts you in a position of leadership and authority for your community’s emergency services.

Developing a Flood Response Plan for Your Community This presentation will assist a community in developing a response plan for flooding. When the water is rising, it is too late to think about what actions you could or should be taking. Pre-planning four key response actions will help position you for success. These key response actions are: road closures, evacuations, flood control measures, and public information. Developing a plan is not difficult and does not require sophisticated technology. We will examine tools from Paper 1.0 to GIS based solutions. The presentation will also review the important relationships with emergency management, public works, law enforcement, and other local/county/state based partners.

1. Identify flood information resources available

2. Identify four main response actions to ensure success

3. Identify who you want/need to work with to develop a plan

4. Develop a draft plan

Tactical Firefighter Fitness: Improving Health and Wellness in the Fire Service Firefighter Tactical Fitness will introduce a new idea into fitness for the fire service to improve our health and wellness. We will first begin by discussing the physical requirements it takes to perform fire ground activities. This will include physiological changes as well and their effects on the body. We will then move into the injuries and LODD’s statistics including common injuries and cost of those injuries. We will then move into the fitness and assessments which firefighters can utilize to gauge their preparedness for fire ground stresses. We will discuss proper fitness programming and how to start and improve upon fitness exercises. We will then look at common injuries and limitations, which plague the fire service including back pain. We will address functional movement patterns and areas where firefighters are injured. Finally, we will discuss how to implement a Health and Wellness Program for today’s fire service, including some road blocks and hesitations by members.

This presentation will address the growing concern for lack of fitness and health and wellness program within today’s fire service. The student will learn injuries and LODD statistics to properly prevent against the same occurrence. The student will learn how to assess weakness within their programming or how to start a fitness program. The student will also learn correct movement patterns and learn to lift appropriately to reduce back injuries. The final objective will be to educate the students on implementing a Health and Wellness Program within their departments.

Processing Stress and Enhancing Performance with Yoga for First Responders In one shift, firefighters can see more trauma, loss, death and destruction than the average person will see in a lifetime.

Yoga For First Responders (YFFR) classes offer firefighters a systematic solution to known problems and issues that are a result from the cumulative stress of the job. Through tactical breath work, physical strength and mobility training, self-regulation and mental resiliency techniques, this training can give firefighters the skill set to not only protect themselves from Post Traumatic Stress, Vicarious Traumatization, heart attack and other cardiovascular epidemics, sleep disorders and common injuries, but also the ability to process stress in a manner that leads to growth rather than depletion.

In addition to the nervous system regulation and injury-prevention benefits, these techniques can also increase on the job tactical performance and support a balanced personal life resulting in elite firefighters.

Yoga For First Responders delivers the benefits of a traditional yoga practice tailored to the culture of fire service and the specific needs of firefighters in a manner that is practical, sustainable and effective.

Hazardous Materials - AnhydrousAmmonia Emergencies This course is designed to give emergency responders basic information concerninganhydrous ammonia including tactical considerations involving outdoor releases attypical storage and transportation situations.

Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) is a widely used chemical. It is used in many manufacturing processes, such as the manufacturing of nitric acid, which is used in the plastic manufacturing, cleaning fluids, and synthetic fibers. However, the most common use of NH3 is as a fertilizer. In fact, 80% of all the ammonia produced in the United States is used as fertilizer, or used to make other fertilizer products.

Prior to emergency response to a hazardous materials incident, such as an anhydrous ammonia release, responders need to be well trained and equipped to handle the situation. The tactics used in this program have been designed based upon the physical properties of NH3 and may not be effective or safe given another product and should be considered for outdoor releases only.

Performance and training competencies of this program are relative to those found in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 and NFPA 472 Standard.
