  • Operational Planning
  • Shift Dynamics
  • Legal Issues That Affect The Officer
  • Customer Service
  • Politics

Fire Officer II

$445 Per Person for RAFT Members
$595 for Nonmembers

*Fire Officer I or Equivalent Required*

This course is the second part in our fire officer series. This class focuses on the same key areas for the officers identified in our Fire Officer I course but takes them up a notch. Rather than being focused on the company level officer, it is focused on the station or multiple company officer. This class seeks out that "higher level of understanding" in the following areas: 

  • Transition to New Roles and Responsibilities
  • Operational Planning Principles
  • Strategy and Tactics
  • Communication
  • Health and Safety
  • Human Resources
  • Legal Issues
  • Professional Fire Service
  • Development of Goals
  • Code Enforcement
  • Training
