Fire Officer Boot Camp 

Does your fire department have a long history of electing or appointing firefighters to officer positions, hoping they will succeed… only to be disappointed?  Well… STOP THE MADNESS!

The ability to effectively lead others toward a common goal requires learned skills and abilities. You can wait around for your new officers to acquire the knowledge they need to be successful through years of painful experiences. Or… you can enroll them in a leadership development program BEFORE they get promoted.

Hey! What an incredible concept… prepare them for the job in advance. The Fire Officer Boot Camp is an informative 32-hour program designed to help you transition firefighters into successful leaders.
