This course is a basic Incident Command training program for all-hazards approaches particularly geared toward industrial and municipal situations. The scope of this course is limited to those standards, laws, and regulations that apply to the brigade or department member regarding command at various types of incidents and serves to establish the foundation necessary for additional levels of training.
