The training challenge

How do you create enough meaningful repetitions?

Working fires cannot be scheduled. Live exercises require personnel, apparatus, evaluators, facilities, and preparation. Classroom instruction teaches essential knowledge, but officers still need opportunities to apply it.

ComTac helps departments create those repetitions without replacing the training they already value.

“I can run a realistic command simulation from my office without taking companies out of service or coordinating a large training exercise. It gives me meaningful fireground command repetitions whenever I have the time.”

A simple department model

Add repetitions without rebuilding your entire training program.

2

Run the Simulations

Individuals complete command repetitions on a schedule that fits operations.

3

Debrief and Apply

Use evaluations, recordings, and facilitated discussion to reinforce learning.

4

Repeat

Continue building competency over time rather than treating command as a one-time class.

For new and current officers

A development tool that supports succession, continuing education, and refresher training.

“This was very challenging. I learned a lot about what this process is. It will be good for new officers and continuing education for current officers to keep knocking the rust off.”
