Building A Team That Everybody Wants to Join Webinar

4 (1 vote)

Without a cohesive environment it is highly unlikely that a firefighting unit will be effective on the fireground or provide the atmosphere for learning and growth at the firehouse. Ground rules will allow us to build the type of workplace environment that supports the growth of a cohesive team and is an absolute necessity for tactical performance. The material applies equally to firefighters and officers as these two groups normally make up a company. The concepts are the building blocks and can actually be used to bring cohesive to battalion or platoon level.

Course Objectives

  • The student will be able to describe the importance of a cohesive environment within a firefighting unit.
  • The student will be able to list several action steps used to build a cohesive company environment.
