Beyond The Academy: Engine & Ladder Company Operations   Multi-Company Operations is our final core class, and arguably the most important.  This class combines engine and ladder company operations into one class.  In the lecture/discussion atmosphere, several simulations and scenarios will be examined.  In the hands-on/acquired structure environment, participants will have the opportunity to rotate though the various positions of each company while participating in realistic scenarios.  In both environments, teamwork and coordination are emphasized to affect a positive outcome on your fireground.
