Scenario-based command training for company and chief officers
10-Minute Training mayday tactical decision games (TDGs) help firefighters, company officers, and command officers practice recognition, communication, accountability, and command decision-making when firefighters are lost or trapped and cannot safely exit the hazard zone.
Managing response to a mayday is one of the most challenging events that an incident commander may encounter. As Chief Alan Brunacini said, when something goes wrong, you better be doing everything right. Command Competence is introducing two training bulletins on maydays and assembled a collection of 10-Minute Training mayday tactical decision games to aid you in developing your skills in calling and responding to maydays.
Training Bulletin 25-01 Calling the Mayday
Training Bulletin 25-02 Mayday Communications
How to Use This Collection
Choose one mayday TDG and have participants answer before discussion. Focus first on recognition, communication, crew accountability, and command organization. Then use the mayday training bulletins to compare individual, company, and command-level actions.
