Developing a Simulation Training Program

In 2004, the Houston (TX) Fire Department (HFD) began an officer development program to train all current officers and members eligible to operate in that position. The program is divided into three modalities: chief officer (CODC), company officer (ODC), and newly promoted officer (NPO). We formed a committee of officers representing different geographical locations and shifts and began writing a curriculum. At the same time, the department was conducting its annual aircraft rescue firefighting (ARFF) large-scale certification drill. At the postincident briefing, we observed that participating officers and chief officers vigorously debated the various strategies and tactics employed, while the firefighters were busy examining the insides of their eyelids.
