District Chief City of Orlando Fire Dept. Orlando, Florida, United States
The goal of this class is to teach the student about people issues that will affect your hazmat call, team and Fire Department. It’s about the people. IT’S ABOUT TRUST ….. Without the right people in the right position on the right day making the correct decision or being allowed to implement the correct course of action, everything will be more difficult and possibly fatal. Human Interaction (Politics) prior to the call, during the call and after the call in some cases will be the focus of the class. Politics both externally and internally as it relates to your hazmat team is critically important.
