Thursday: Applying Modern Firefighting Tactics WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: We are hopefully all aware of the ground-breaking tests that NIST and UL have been conducting on Modern Fire Behavior over the last few years. An incredible amount of information has come out of the tests, but what does that mean on the fireground? Chief Healy has been one of the people at the forefront of this research, and has overseen the policy, strategy, and tactics changes for the FDNY. He will be here to teach us how to apply the new info on our modern fireground based on his personal experiences and those of other departments that have been involved. After this class, you will be armed with the knowledge of how to implement changes in your own department based on new scientific facts rather than a couple hundred years of “tradition”. The presentation will focus on using the new science in fireground decisionmaking, controlling ventilation flow paths, application of hose streams from outside the structure, and other changes that have come from the studies. This should be a “DON’T MISS” class for your department policy-makers!!! ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Deputy Chief George K. Healy is a 23 year veteran of the FDNY presently assigned to Division 11 Brooklyn NY. He served as the Operations section chief for both of the Governor’s Island burns, testing alternate strategies for combating wind driven fires in 2008 and conducting ventilation and suppression exercises in 2012. He serves on the Technical Review Panel for Underwriters Laboratory’s Assistance to Firefighters grant program studying horizontal ventilation and vertical ventilation. He has been a lecturer at many conferences, including the FDNY High Rise Symposium, Chicago High Rise Symposium, UK Fire College Symposium, West Midlands UK seminar, FDIC, and multiple other national and international conferences. He is a Fire Service Instructor I, Nassau Fire Academy Instructor, Illinois Institute Instructor, Instructor for the Battalion Chief Command Course and Deputy Chief Development Course and Chiefs Education day for the FDNY.

Friday AM: Modern Leaders & People Skills WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: This presentation will consist of 3 one-hour programs: Creating People Skills: A Generational Look: This lecture centers on how we can be more effective in using our people skills in all social settings – both professionally and personally. It is critical to better understand ourselves and some of the keys we must pursue to unlock the greatness we have inside ourselves. People skills may seem common sense, but common sense just isn’t so common anymore. Emotional & Social Intelligence - Hillbilly Heaven: This lecture revolves around what the current research has to say about emotional and social intelligence – the keys to human interaction. This is a must lecture for anyone that has to deal with others in a cooperative and collaborative environment and want to truly be more effective in our day-to-day communications. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Building The Leader Inside of You: This lecture is one that is built on providing participants with a research based and practical look at leadership. Together, we will explore how leaders face personal and professional trials and tribulations and find the courage to rise above the challenge and chart a winning course. Leaders do not inflict pain – they bear it.
