| Fire in the Sky: The North Stonegate COOP Fire (NEW) | April 7th, 2024, Hamilton County, North Stonegate Coop Fire started from a lightning strike. Flames could be seen a county away and it made the sky look like it was on fire. During the fire, we had a grain bin collapse, the coop building collapsed, and corn spilled out onto the active railroad. We drained the entire county of resources and neighboring county departments. I was Incident Command and set up unified command and other sectors and resources. |
| Real Calls, Real Lessons: Low Frequency, High Impact Operations (NEW) | This fast-paced, 90-minute case study session from the Des Moines Fire Department examines four rare but demanding incidents — a trench rescue, a multiple-patient gunshot wound scene, a single-patient stabbing with field blood administration, and a high-angle rescue — through the eyes of personnel who were there. First-arriving and command-level responders will walk the audience through each scene using incident photos, diagrams, and key decision points, delivering maximum takeaways in minimum time.

| No Rank Required Leadership Culture by Design (NEW) | This presentation, titled "No Rank Required ~ Leadership Culture by Design," challenges the traditional notion that leadership is solely defined by rank in the fire service. It emphasizes that influence and leadership are cultivated through everyday actions—training, mentoring, and setting standards—regardless of official titles. The session explores how informal leaders impact morale and performance, how culture is established long before arriving at the fireground, and how firefighters at all levels can embody ownership, discipline, and pride. Attendees will learn practical strategies to foster a leadership culture where influence is earned, initiative is valued, and everyone leads—up, down, and beside them. Because in firefighting, trust and character matter more than badges, and strong departments are built by people who choose to lead, no matter what’s on their collar. |
| The Fireground EMT: Expanding EMS' Contributions on the Fireground (NEW) | This presentation explores the expanding and increasingly vital role of non-firefighter Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals, specifically Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), within fireground operations.

| Ripples (NEW) | Ripples focuses on how an officer’s daily actions shape firehouse culture and on-scene performance. Small leadership choices, what gets corrected, what gets ignored, and how standards are enforced—create ripples that affect morale, discipline, safety, and trust. This course uses real-world examples to show how poor habits become accepted, how standards slowly erode, and how leadership silence sends a louder message than words. Officers will learn how to identify early warning signs of cultural drift, address the “unaware, unable, and unwilling,” and apply practical leadership tools tied to risk management and accountability. Ripples is designed for officers who want to lead with clarity, consistency, and credibility—before minor issues turn into major problems. |
| Building the Team Everyone Wants to Join (NEW) | Success on the emergency scene is directly tied to the environment and culture at the firehouse.

The course is designed to provide information to assist with developing department SOGs for industrial fire responses. The course is not intended to provide exact strategies and/or tactics for fighting these types of fires. However, there may be some brief discussion on strategies or tactics which have been used during previous responses. If time allows, there will be case studies presented of various industrial fire responses including a review of the Clinton, IA 2019 LODD. |
| Solid Start: Anchors that Shape Rope Rescue Outcomes (Classroom Only) | Before the ropes move, the anchor has to hold. In this fast-paced fire school session, we’ll break down the fundamentals behind strong, reliable anchor systems and the critical decisions that make or break a rescue.

| Effective Radio Communications for Interoperability (Utilizing Iowa's Unified Radio Network to Complete the Mission) (NEW) | Poor communication is a leading driver of errors and adverse events in public safety. Iowa has led the charge to increase interoperable communications statewide on the ISICS land mobile radio network allowing one to many communications, situational awareness, and secure communications with advanced encryption capability. This course is built to provide an understanding of the ISICS system and how your agency can utilize push to talk (PTT) communications no matter what your normal means of communicating. You will hear about the newly updated Iowa Emergency Medical Services communication plan and how Iowa is moving away from legacy systems that are no longer supported. |
| Getting Out: The Critical Other Half of Forcible Entry (NEW) | Gaining access to buildings is generally an essential first step in efficient fire operations. It provides the gateway(s) through which other activities must flow. So, especially in recent years, “forcible entry”—getting in-- has been an important focus of firefighter training. Unfortunately, what isn’t so widely recognized-- and is ultimately even more critical-- is the importance of finding and utilizing egress routes when things go wrong. Methods of getting in and getting out are related and warrant being studied together. However, the barriers encountered in each and the methods used to overcome them are likely to be quite different. This course provides a detailed examination of the types of barriers facing emergency firefighter egress, general approaches to defeating them, and how fire crews can prepare themselves to perform forcible entry and emergency egress with equal confidence and skill. Getting in is essential. But it’s not successful until everyone’s out. |
