Enhancing Public Safety with GIS IntelligenceState Fire Marshals’ offices are uniquely positioned to impact state and local public safety through operational excellence, education, prevention, and regulation. A geospatial approach can concentrate risk reduction efforts on where they will make the biggest impact. This webinar will focus on empowering state and local agencies to better leverage geospatial systems to identify risk, prioritize resources, and help with hazard mitigation. Specifically, this session will cover Esri’s suite of tools and applications, including ArcGIS Solutions for the fire service, that can equip fire agencies with resources to best protect their communities.Speakers:Mike Cox, Director of Fire, Rescue, and EMS Solutions, EsriBaylie Scott, Senior Product Engineer, EsriGary West, Deputy Chief, National Association of State Fire Marshals

First Due’s comprehensive suite is designed specifically for EMS operations and includes highly configurable NEMSIS v.3.4 and 3.5 compliant ePCR software and applications for scheduling, assets, training, events, and more.

Join our webinar on Fire Service Hazards and Building and Fire Code Prevention Efforts for Lithium-ion Batteries and Energy Storage Systems! Lithium-ion Battery Fires: What have we learned in the last year? Presented By the Fire and Life Safety Section (FLSS)Attention all fire service professionals, industry experts, and safety enthusiasts! We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar focused on Fire Service Hazards and Code updates on Prevention Efforts for Lithium-ion Batteries and Energy Storage Systems. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and stay at the forefront of fire safety practices in the rapidly evolving field of energy storage.

The protective clothing and gear that firefighters wear must meet requirements established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This webinar discusses the upcoming standard and changes fire departments will encounter, as well as how they may affect purchase decisions.

Webinar: Monitoring and predicting conditions that contribute to fire spread are central to both the national fire danger rating system and prescribed fire efforts. In forests, fine scale variation in stand structure and composition can influence microclimate conditions (i.e. understory temperature and relative humidity) and dead fuel moisture. However, these dynamic drivers of fire behavior are difficult to parameterize in predictive models due to their high spatial and temporal variability. In this study, we used terrestrial laser scanning, field-based climate data loggers, fuel moisture sticks, and forest inventory measurements to better understand the relationship between forest structure, microclimate, and dead fuel moisture in two managed northern conifer forests in Maine and New Hampshire. This research enhances northeastern fire managers’ ability to plan and implement fuel treatments by highlighting how changes in forest stand structure drive fine scale heterogeneity in fuel moisture and fire behavior.

It’s not easy being a leader in public safety. You’re expected to demonstrate empathy and strength, vision and command, integrity yet flexibility. And the various stakeholders you serve – your personnel, your elected officials and your community members – often expect different things. How can you navigate these challenges? It’s not easy, but being on the lookout for “leadership watchouts” can help. In this webinar, Battalion Chief Bruce Bjorge and Chief (Ret.) Dave Funkhouser share six areas that can spell trouble for public safety leaders and discuss how you can meet these challenges, build your leadership strengths and improve the overall wellness and productivity of your agency personnel. Engage in the discussion by submitting your questions live. And set yourself up to finish the year strong and move into 2024 with renewed energy and commitment. You’ll learn: - How to avoid common mistakes that lead to leadership failures. - The importance of self-care and how to become a leader in wellness. - How to take steps to ensure policy and practice are aligned. - How to become a servant leader instead of a servant to leadership.
