Food is not included in weekend, vendors will be available. The primary target audiences for this course are fire officers, firefighters, Fire Police, rescue personnel, EMA and law enforcement personnel who command and respond to work at highway incidents. Students will learn how to adapt the same safety and traffic control principles used to establish work zones in the highway construction and maintenance industries. They will be shown ways of applying these principles, using limited equipment and staffing, to enhance safety at emergency incidents on streets and highways. This is NOT “just a Fire Police course”! NFPA 1500 recommends that all firefighters and other ‘first responders’ have a working knowledge of this topic. Command officers must know and understand temporary traffic control principles and practices in order to effectively command a highway incident. Books can be purchased through VFIS. Payment must be made prior to the course.
