No matter where you land on the teaching spectrum, the aim of this course is to increase efficiency in establishing interoperable communications during incidents, create a consistent knowledge base of interoperable communications channels and networks, and provide a helpful tool for pre-planning and interoperable communications training and exercises.[1]

This online course is intended to help alleviate many of the problems or short comings during wildland fire, structural fire, and vehicular incidents Oral Volunteer Fire Fighters are likely to be engaged in during a call.

The focus of this course is on radio communications between dispatch, members of the Fall River County Fire Departments, and other volunteer fire departments responding in mutual aid calls.
