2 Day Mayday Management Workshop

October 1st – October 2nd

"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" are the most frightening words transmitted on the fireground. It means something has gone terribly wrong and a firefighter, or worse yet firefighters, are in distress and calling out to the heavens for help. Your heartbeat races as anxiety starts to build. Emotions are running high as the fireground transitions toward chaos. What do you do? How do you manage an event of this magnitude? Why did it happen in the first place?

Are you prepared to manage a Mayday?
