What Are Core Services?

First, we catch up on Fire Command Third Edition and why hazard zone incident command needs a system built for real time control and firefighter work cycles. Then we draw a hard line between core services and added value, and we talk about how leadership, standards, and simple acts of service shape trust with the community.

• Fire Command Third Edition origins and what changes in structure and flow
• Why Fire Command fits structure fires better than NIMS for day to day hazard zone work
• How EMS and paramedicine became a natural fire service core service
• Hazmat and technical rescue as added responsibilities driven by community need and firefighter trainability
• Firefighter decon, cancer risk, and the employer duty to provide a safe workplace
• Public education as prevention that pays off, and how to avoid crushing company workload
• Added value moments that become reputation multipliers, from small help to big impact
• The connector program as a model for solving repeat problems and improving outcomes
• Leadership discipline, avoiding group stupidity, and learning to say no without becoming the problem
