Fireline leadership returns to CFA
As part of OD&T’s development of sector commander and crew leader courses, we have been investigating options to offer operational leadership elements as optional training for our fireground leaders.
After exploring several options, we are pleased to announce that Fireline leadership will again be made available to our members.
Fireline leadership has previously been delivered to CFA volunteers and has provided valuable leadership skills for our members. It has equipped CFA volunteers with essential leadership skills, especially those who lead teams in operational settings.
This program focuses on preparing emergency response teams and assists leaders from response agencies in building cohesive, adaptive, and resilient teams. Participants learn vital principles for leading in high-risk and high-stress situations, fostering team cohesion, and effectively resolving conflicts and challenges within the team.
The interactive course combines theory, case studies, classroom exercises, and field exercises, providing a comprehensive framework for launching future organisational development.
It is designed to run over two weekends and will be accessible through regional training calendars in collaboration with Redflag Leadership.
