10 Minute-Training: Vacant & abandoned buildings present a range of hazards, requiring careful consideration of the critical factors.

Firefighters watching incident videos frequently think about what they would do if facing the same situation. Ten-Minute Training drills leverage this inclination using incident video, photographs or a simulation based on incident conditions in tactical decision-game (TDG) format. TDGs help us develop and exercise the cognitive skills incident commanders require. Every month, the B Shifter Buckslip features a 10-Minute Training scenario designed to provide a bit of synthetic experience while enhancing your ability to recognize patterns, identify relevant cues, expectancies, and anomalies, set plausible goals, and develop a workable incident action plan. Each Ten-Minute Training will focus on a company officer serving as IC No. 1, a command officer serving as IC No. 2, or a tactical supervisor.
