NATIONAL
FIRE ACADEMY announces new online course
Emmitsburg,
MD – The U.S. Fire Administration’s (USFA) National Fire
Academy (NFA) is pleased to announce the release of its newest online
course, Command & Control Decision Making at Multiple Alarm Incidents
Self Study (Q297). In early 2007, efforts began to redesign several
of the NFA’s resident courses using a blended learning format,
whereby a portion of the newly revised course is available online. One
of the first courses available under this new format is the Command
& Control Decision Making at Multi-Alarm Incidents (R297) course.
This new self study course is the precourse assignment for the residential
R297 course; however, anyone interested can enroll in the course.
“We
are pleased to make this course available not only to the fire and emergency
services, but to the general public as well,” said U.S. Fire Administrator
Greg Cade. “This particular course serves to broaden the student’s
knowledge and understanding of the use and significance of the Incident
Command System.”
This
course and additional online courses are available through the NFA’s
online training site, NFA Online at www.nfaonline.dhs.gov.
Students who successfully complete the courses have instant access to
their NFA certificate of completion and transcript. Additional information
on the USFA and the NFA is available at www.usfa.dhs.gov.
