SUMMARY:Webinar – Behind the 8 Ball: The First 15 Minutes on the Fireground
DESCRIPTION:Does the term “do more with less” sound familiar? For many volunteer and combination departments\, that’s a daily reality – and it matters most in the critical first minutes of an incident. This webinar will review incident priorities and how staffing levels can make all the difference between winning and losing on the fireground. We’ll discuss staffing studies that have been completed and how departments can use that data to their advantage. We’ll also review NFPA 1710 and 1720\, along with the OSHA standard for 2-in/2-out\, and what these mean for departments working with limited staffing. \nPresenter: Timothy Cowan \nRegister

SUMMARY:Roundtable Talk – Is NFPA Standard Adoption Really All or Nothing?
DESCRIPTION:NFPA standards are meant to establish a baseline of safety and operational performance\, but many departments assume adoption is an all-or-nothing decision – and that’s one of the most misunderstood aspects of how these standards actually work. This NVFC Roundtable Talk brings together subject matter experts to unpack where the line really falls between what’s required\, what’s recommended\, and what’s realistically achievable for individual departments. Panelists will discuss how standards can be modified to fit local needs and resources unless mandated by law\, what departments should weigh when new or merged standards come with real cost implications\, and how fire and emergency service organizations can move from confusion to confident implementation. \nPresenters: John Buckman (moderator)\, Doug Cline\, Joe Maruca\, and Robin Zevotek\n \nRegister
