Success can be defined in its simplest form as making life better for someone

else. Whether it comes in creating a better product, helping to relieve

someone’s stress or pain, bringing someone laughter or joy or helping some-

one get more out of their life, success is always about serving. This being the

case, the key to success in any business lies not only in the development of

great products and services, but more importantly in the development of

great people. In this insightful presentation, Dave Davlin shares three essen-

tial ingredients for developing a purpose-driven mentality to achieve a ful-

filling career and balanced life.

This presentation is an hour of interaction, humor, audience participation

mixed with a powerful message. It is a roller coaster ride of emotion that

will find the audience engaged in hilarious laughter one moment and

brought to tears the next.

The audience will be challenged to make the most of every moment in order to develop themselves personally and professionally while

creating value and making a difference in the lives of others.

Success can be defined in its simplest form as making life better

for someone else. Whether it comes in creating a better prod-

uct, helping to relieve someone’s stress or pain, bringing some-

one laughter or joy or helping someone get more out of their life,

success is always about serving.

This being the case, the key to success in any business lies not

only in the development of great products and services, but more

importantly in the development of great people. In this insightful

presentation, Dave Davlin shares three essential ingredients for

developing a purpose-driven mentality to achieve a fulfilling ca-

reer and balanced life.

This presentation is an hour of interaction, humor, audience par-

ticipation mixed with a powerful message. It is a roller coaster

ride of emotion that will find the audience engaged in hilarious

laughter one moment and brought to tears the next.

The audience will be challenged to make the most of every mo-

ment in order to develop themselves personally and profession-

ally while creating value and making a difference in the lives of

others.

LE3 What’s Your Handicap?

Dave Davlin, Speaker

Wednesday, 1:00—2:30 pm

Track: Leadership

In everyone there exists the potential to achieve excellence. Each

of us has unique skills and innate abilities that can lead us to suc-

cess and fulfillment both personally and professionally. Unfortu-

nately, however, we also possess certain traits, habits and even

beliefs that often prevent us from reaching our true potential and

experiencing life to the fullest.

Whether manifested in the form of a physical or mental limita-

tion, an emotional or psychological affliction, or even an imag-

ined encumbrance, such handicaps sabotage the pursuit of our

goals and desires in ways that may be hidden to us. In this inspir-

ing, impactful presentation, Dave Davlin shares how he identified

and refused to be limited by his own obstructions—and reassures

audiences that even though handicaps exist in many forms, we

do not have to be handicapped by them. HZ4 Hands-on Instrument Review

John Lund, Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program, Idaho Falls, ID


Track: HAZMAT

During this session, responders will have time to practice basic instrument

operations and techniques. The class will use radiation sources and will include

a refresher on instrument operations and personnel survey practices. The ses-

sion will include information on performing instrument and detector opera-

tions, large area scene surveys and methods of mapping radiation and contami-

nation at an accident scene involving the release of a radioactive materi-

al. Participants are encouraged to bring their jurisdiction’s radiological survey

instruments to the class.

FP3 Clandestine Drug Labs ICC CREDIT

Brian Escamilla, Clan Lab Program Manager and a Forensic Chemist/Principal

Instructor

NES, Inc.

Wednesday, 1:00-2:30 pm

Track: Prevention

This course is an awareness course designed for first responders and investiga-

tors who respond to clandestine laboratories. The types of clandestine labora-

tories will vary, but all personnel should be aware of the types of drugs being

manufactures, the hazards at the site, the signs and symptoms of exposure, and

the recommended personal protective equipment necessary to safely manage

the various types of clan labs scene in the United States.

LE4 The Art of Critical Decision Making for Fire Service Leaders

Michael Barakey, District Chief, Virginia Beach (VA) Fire Dept., VA


Track: Leadership

The closest distance between two points is a straight

line. Achievement is not arriving at the solution; it is the journey

and overcoming the obstacles to achieve a successful out-

come. In the fire service, getting from point “A” to point “B” is a

challenge on some emergency incident scenes, especial critical

incidents. Firefighters are faced with challenges around the fire

station and challenges in the administrative arena, like develop-

ment of a succession plan or team. Point to point leadership

provides fundamental principles that identify the challenges that

fire service leader’s encounters; offer a step by step process to

get through difficult situations and incidents. Leaders possess the


ability to get to the point to point in the most expeditious route, but not neces-

sarily in a straight line. Obstacles, variables, and predictable influences are ever

present and this class will teach you to understand, predict and manage the

obstacles on the emergency incident scene.

This 90-minute class will prepare you for to make critical decisions. Leaders

are inundated with challenges and obstacles on the emergency incident sce-

ne. Good critical decision makers possess the ability to make informed deci-

sions in a condensed time period. When responders are presented with obsta-

cles and challenges, like time constraints, they must call upon their wisdom,

training and education to make a quality decision. Good decision makers antic-

ipate and plan for the success of the incident, their company or their

team. First responders are asked to make critical decisions that may place

civilians or other responders in danger or peril. They are asked to make deci-

sion, in a split second, that could later be considered a “good” decision or a

“poor” decision by independent or outside evaluators. It is the wisdom, educa-

tion, and training that allows a responder to make the best decision possi-

ble. Because choices exist and there are many ways to handle an incident,

public safety leaders constantly learn from case studies, even cases that are

outside the public safety industry, to learn how to make a quality decision with

limited time or other obstacles. It is human nature that when choices exist,

many people choose the path of least resistance. It is taught in geometry class

that the closest distance between two points is a straight line. In critical deci-

sion making, the line is never straight. Critical decision makers are inundated

with challenges, which lead to choices. Leaders possess the ability to get from

one point to another point in the most expeditious route, but not necessarily

following a straight line .

HZ5 Potentially Contaminated Patient Handling and Prehospital Care

John Lund, Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program,

Idaho Falls, ID


Track: HAZMAT

During this session, responders will learn how to assess the po-

tential risks in handling contaminated patients at a radioactive

material transportation incident. It will prepare responders for

transporting patients from the incident scene to the hospital.

This session will also increase the responders understanding of

aspects of pre-hospital patient care. The knowledge will help

responders function with confidence during incidents involving

radioactive material. The session involves a hands-on, step-by-

step guideline for performing gross decontamination and proper

packaging of a potentially contaminated patient.

SU4 A Tactical Approach for the Routine Environment

William Racowschi , Fire Chief, (Ret.) , City of Torrance, CA Wednesday, 3:30—5:00 pm Track: Suppression

Using fire service cartoons, several web-based video clips and drawing from my personal fire service experience, attendees will learn an acronym (Firefighters love acronyms) with techniques they can use to help run their "non-emergency scene", also known as their fire station, firehouse, duty station, office, etc. The focus of this training is the time between emergency response. One only needs to look at the programs for any Fire Service con-ference, event, or symposium to determine that upwards of 90% of all the "menu" offerings are in the Operational areas: Structur-al Firefighting, Urban/Wildland Interface firefighting, High Rise Firefighting, Low Angle Rescue, High Angle Rescue, Confined Space, Haz Mat, Etc. All are important and valuable to the Fire Service.

There are not many training courses in the recognition and pre-vention of possible career threatening events. Learning how to read the environment inside a fire station, identifying possible career threatening events, and learning how to defuse those threats is what this training is about. Most personnel issues hap-pen during the non-emergency or down time portions of the duty shifts. Just as performance issues witnessed by the on-scene supervisor are addressed immediately or shortly after, this class will provide tools for identifying career threats in the non-emergency envi-ronment. I will present the acronym C-SOLID EARS and guide the attendees through the presentation by discussing each ele-ment: This presentation covers the importance of Listening techniques, Communications skills and Group Dynamics . It will be presented from a Situational Supervision/Leadership perspective. Supervisor/Managers can use any or all of the acronym elements I present as a guide to assist them in formulating a plan for deal-ing with on the job issues and it is a valuable tool for all ranks as it will provide insights on the many difficulties the routine envi-ronment can present.

FP4 Marijuana –Hazardous Chemical Response ICC CREDIT Brian Escamilla, Clan Lab Program Manager and a Forensic Chemist/Principal Instructor NES, Inc. Wednesday, 3:30—5:00 pm Track: Prevention This course is designed for first responders and investigators who respond to indoor and outdoor marijuana grows. The types of physical and chemical haz-ards present at these sites will vary, but all personnel should be aware of the hazards at the site, the signs and symptoms of exposure, and the recommend-ed personal protective equipment necessary to safely manage this type of scene.


SU5 Utility Safety and Coordination

Elizabeth (Liz) Breeden, Emergency Management Administrator, NV Energy Jenny Conrad, NV Energy Wednesday, 3:30—5:00 pm Track: Suppression/HAZMAT Jenny Conrad will discuss how first responders can be safe around gas and electrical utilities. The presentation with start with house fires and expand all the way up to Wildland Fires. She will go over how to report an emergency and how to navigate the scene until utility personnel arrive. In conjunction with Jenny’s presentation, Elizabeth Breeden will discuss the working relation-ship NV Energy has with first responders in the community and how they got to such a great working relationship.

LE5 FLOW: The Psychology of Optimal Performance Instructor: Mark Emery, Fire Chief, East Valley Fire Dept., WA Wednesday, 3:30—5:00 pm Track: Leadership According to performance psychology, FLOW is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is ‘in the zone,’ fully immersed, focused, and engaged. Employed by sports psychologists and elite athletes, FLOW is the secret for personal and organizational Optimal Performance. The concept of Optimal Performance incorporates Growth Mindset, Perfect Practice, the Power of Habit, and other performance enhancing methodologies into a single, unified Optimal Performance model. FLOW is the culmination of this integrated performance approach. By balancing challenge and skill, FLOW offers a systematic approach for life-long calibration of personal growth and develop-ment and the growth and development of your fire station. If you are a Training Officer, this information will improve your training and education program and drills; if you are a Chief Officer, this program offers growth and development methods that will enable the continuous improvement of your organization. This program is for individuals and organizations that are committed to improv-ing the performance of themselves, their fire station—and their family. OBJECTIVES: 1) Recognize the value of Optimal Performance concepts. 2) Kindle interest in pursuing the concepts and methodology of Optimal Perfor-mance. 3) Incorporate Optimal Performance concepts into your life and into your fire station. 4) Integrate Optimal Performance concepts into drills and training programs. 5) Optimal Performance End Game: Practice Optimal Performance concepts on a daily basis.

LE6 The Fire Service Instructor; Leading Change Through Training Devon Wells, President, International Society of Fire Service Instructors Wednesday, 3:30—5:00 Track: Suppression/ Training The fire service is in a state of change. How do we, as instructors, lead this change? How do we get firefighters to look at things differently? How do we change from a procedure-based fire service to a principle-based fire service? Research has identified how the fire service can provide emergency response in a more safe, effective and efficient way. Challenging traditional methods of firefighting can be difficult. Who is going to be the change-agent of this para-digm shift? It starts with training officers, instructors and company officers—the most important positions involved in leading change and presenting new infor-mation.

Division Live Burn Accountability form as part of the registra-tion for FireShowsWest. This form must be signed by the Chief of their agency or the Chief’s designee. A contact phone number for your agency is required. The training will utilize four types of mobile training props that include an LP-Gas Fire Simulation Prop, Car Fire Trainer Prop, Mobile Training Gallery SCBA Maze and a Mobile Fire Simulator Trailer (West Wendover Burn Trailer). –The Mobile LP-Gas Fire Simulation Prop has two live fire simula-tors. A propane dispensing station (tank) and a ruptured pipeline are involved in a fire. –The LP-Gas simulator is constructed utilizing a 320 gallon con-tainer and fueled by liquid propane. It has a simulated relief valve that can produce flame heights of approximately 35 ft. There are two valves on the container that the participants must close. –The pipeline rupture simulator (Christmas tree) is fueled by liquid propane. It is constructed of a “trunk” and several branch-es that are perforated to allow a massive flame front. There is a valve at the base of the tree which the participants must close. –The Kidde Car Fire Trainer Prop realistically replicates a car fire in a safe environment. It has multiple burn zones and is able to produce scenarios such as: engine fire, forward passenger ar-ea fire, rear passenger area fire, fuel spill fire. It has a hinged hood, trunk and passenger doors to allow access into the differ-ent compartments and the hood is pry-able which allows partici-pants to conduct forcible entry drills. –Dräger Mobile Training Gallery SCBA Maze is located inside a twenty-four foot trailer allowing it for easier transportation and accessibility. It is used primarily to train participants in carrying out tasks while being mentally and physically stressed. The maze is constructed from a tubular steel framework with wire mesh side panels and wood floor panels. The maze passageway con-tains numerous obstacles to mentally stress the trainee and cre-ate situations of restricted maneuverability.

LE7 10 Commandments of a Great Company Officer

Steve Prziborowski, Deputy Chief, Santa Clara County Fire Department, CA Thursday, 8:00—9:30 am Track: Leadership Companies, organizations, governmental agencies, and yes – fire departments, are struggling for quality leadership, especially at the rank of company officer. Leadership does not start at the top. For a Fire Chief to be a successful leader, they rely on all of their officers, and most importantly their company officers, to lead by example and to take care of things at the lowest level. Unfortunately, history shows this is not as easy or common as one would think. This session is intended for any current or fu-ture company officer who is open to suggestions for improve-ment. Too many company officers phone it in or who have Re-tired In Place (RIP), in essence providing a leaderless group. Attendees will be exposed to the 10 Commandments of a Great

Company Officer, so that they can be the best they can for their personnel and the communities they serve!

LE8 Bridging the Gap with Generation X Y Z

Ron Roy, Division Chief, Douglas County Fire District 2, WA Thursday, 8:00—9:30 am This presentation describes the generations starting with the greatest generation up through and including generation Z and what years they are. It goes over the characteristics of the gener-ations and the comparisons between them. Why do baby boom-ers have such difficulty communicating with generation Z? We explore those types of issues.

HZ6 Radioactive Materials in Your Communities

Jon Bakkedahl, State Training Officer State of Nevada Thursday, 8:00—9:30 am Track: HAZMAT The session will focus on all radioactive materials in local juris-dictions; both urban and rural. There will be a review of actual incidents involving radioactive material. Instructors will create an informative and participative learning environment during the discussion about these incidents. Theft, malicious intent, and transportation accident case studies involving radioactive material will be discussed during this session. Through the use of actual incident pictures, props, and radioactive material sources, students will participate in an interactive discussion about how they can recognize, detect, and protect themselves and their community from radiation and contamination.

EMS7 The Heart of Public Safety

Darryl Cleveland, Director of Public and Occupational Safety Programs, Truckee Meadows Community College, NV Thursday, 11:00 am —12:00 pm Track: EMS While PTSD and mental health issues are of paramount concern, and should be, first responders statistically suffer heart disease and sudden cardiac death as a leading cause of death still today. This presentation will delve into the facts, myths and flat misin-formation existing today regarding heart healthy living. It is based upon the presenters’ real life story of two Myocardial In-farctions with subsequent stent placement and quadruple coro-nary bypass surgery a mere few years later. The presenter will describe the "red flags" that were missed in annual physicals, the bad information and recommendations received from the "professionals" and what led to these near-fatal incidents. Most importantly, the presentation will discuss the myths versus the realities of living and eating heart healthy in our high stress working lives and poor dietary habits in the public safety world and the lessons learned by the presenter. It is genuinely about the "heart of public safety". LO 1 Identify and discuss available information regarding heart health in public safety members and why cardiac disease is still amongst our leading killers. LO 2 Identify and discuss the "red flags" of cardiovascular dis-


ease easily missed and overlooked. LO 3 Identify and discuss the realities of healthy heart living and how to reduce/prevent pre-mature cardiovascular disease.

LE9 Courage Under Fire: Being the Best Fire Officer You can be in 2019 and Beyond!

Steve Prziborowski, Deputy Chief, Santa Clara County Fire De-partment, CA Thursday, 11:00 am —12:00 pm Track: Leadership Being a leader in 2019 takes a lot of courage, which is the focus of this session. Situations a fire officer may face today can have severe consequences to the positive image of the fire service, their career, or the careers of those they lead. If you want to be everyone’s buddy, or never want to be “that guy or gal” when it comes to being the designated adult, then this session may not be for you. However, if you’re willing to be the leader you took the oath for when accepting the promotion, you will find some value to the information being discussed. Situations that have occurred in the fire service will be presented in a produc-tive manner, so that current and aspiring fire officers can learn from the good and the not-so-good situations that the fire ser-vice has been faced with.

SA1 Emergency Services Incident Investigation

Justin Eberly, Education and Training Specialist, VFIS Thursday, 11:00—12:00 pm Track: Safety Each year, approximately 100 firefighters lose their lives in ser-vice to their communities. An additional 100,000 firefighters are injured on the job. VFIS, the leader in emergency services insur-ance, believes that most of these injuries and deaths are pre-ventable. One of the best tools in the prevention of injuries and deaths is the use of the incident investigation process following every incident or near miss. Every incident, including minor inju-ry and near misses, offers a potential lesson to be learned. The unreported incident is automatically a lesson that has gone unlearned. When incidents are not reported, their causes usually go uncorrected, perhaps causing a reoccurrence, a more serious injury, or even a fatality. All incidents must be investigated to determine the cause of the incident and to ensure that actions to prevent recurrence are implemented. Upon completion, the participant will be able to: 1. Identify incident causes and develop corrective actions 2. Understand the importance of thorough incident investigation procedures 3. Identify policies and procedures related to incident investiga-tion 4. Identify the key steps in incident investigation

LE10 Rescue Me - Managing Employee Fires

Jesse Quinalty, Red Helmet Training Thursday, 1:00 - 2:30 pm Track: Leadership Most Fire Officers and Chiefs will fight more fires in the station then they will out in the streets. This program will utilize basic fireground terminology to break down and make sense of em-ployee coaching, counseling and disciplinary procedures. It will apply such firefighter knowledge as conducting a size up, which will include looking at the building construction (How the em-ployee is built as well as the condition of the building), the extent and location of the fire (the problem) and doing a risk assess-ment. Once these observations are considered then a strategy can be determined and tactics can be put in place. We will then utilize the acronym RECEO to determine what tactics to use when deal-ing with a problem employee. We will also focus on using Fire Prevention, Education, Pre-Planning and Fire Behavior Recogni-tion Training (Reading Smoke) to prevent fires (problems) and keep them small. We will also compare hostile fire events such as rapid fire progression, flashover, backdraft and smoke explo-sions to the more difficult personnel issues. The course will end with conducting several “Fire Simulations” using video and role player scenarios for the students.

SA2 Risk Management: Beyond 'Checking-the-Box' Justin Eberly, Education and Training Specialist, VFIS Thursday, 1:00—2:30 pm Track: Safety A Risk Management program is an ongoing effort to provide a safe environment for personnel and the general public. A com-prehensive risk management program can identify existing or potential problems, providing the means to reduce or eliminate them. Developing a program--beyond 'checking-the-box' for reg-ulatory compliance--requires a commitment at all levels of an emergency services organization. Objectives 1. Describe the importance of capable leadership in risk man-agement 2. Discuss the importance of 'buy-in' and participation of per-sonnel in risk management 3. Develop a philosophy about safety in an Fire/EMS organiza-tion 4. Discuss the steps in conducting a safety audit in an Fire/EMS organization 5. Differentiate the characteristics of 'checking-the-box' and a culture of safety within an Fire/EMS organization
