| Description | Register before December 15. We must have at least 20 registrants before December 15 in order for this class to be offered. This 2-day course stresses fire prevention and mitigation awareness, advocacy, and motivation needed by those who traditionally have been focused on response activities. Participants learn about successful prevention-oriented approaches appropriate for America's smaller communities. The course identifies successful tools, from analysis of the challenges to identification of resources needed to address the total fire protection challenge necessary to bring about change, and how a department's culture of power, influence, negotiation, and coalition building relates. |
