FOREWORD
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was established in 1979.
FEMA's mission is to focus federal effort on preparedness for, mitigation of,
response to, and recovery from emergencies encompassing the full range of
natural and manmade disasters.
FEMA's National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland
includes the United States Fire Administration (USFA), its National Fire
Academy (NFA), and the Emergency Management Institute (EMI).
To achieve the Academy's legislated mandate (under Public Law 93-498,
October 29, 1974) "to advance the professional development of fire service
personnel and of other persons engaged in fire prevention and control
activities," the Field Programs Division has developed an effective program
linkage with established fire training systems which exist at the state and local
levels. It is the responsibility of this division to support and strengthen these
delivery systems. Academy field courses have been sponsored by the
respective state fire training systems in every state.
Designed to meet the needs of the company officer, this course of Leadership
provides the participant with basic skills and tools needed to perform effectively
as a leader in the fire service environment. This course addresses techniques
and approaches to problem-solving, identifying and assessing the needs of the
officer's company subordinates, running meetings effectively in the fire service
environment, and decision-making for the company officer.
