Incident Commander Training

Incident Commander (IC) training is designed for individuals responsible for managing emergency response operations involving hazardous materials or other high-risk incidents.

The Incident Commander assumes control of the scene when the situation requires decision making beyond the awareness level responder. They serve as the overall supervisor, coordinating response activities, ensuring safety, and directing resources throughout the operation.

This training prepares leaders to manage complex emergency situations safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
