<br />
The Clay Fire Territory in South Bend, IN will be hosting its third Blue Card Train the Trainer on Dec. 7-12, 2009. This 6 day course will certify your trainers to be availibe to provide Blue Card Training at your department and includes approximately three years of Officer Development Training Information. The instructors will be John and Nick Brunacini.<br />

The flyer is below. Please email me if you have any questions. bpk@clayfd.com Whats the latest CTC model?tag:community.fireengineering.com,2008-12-14:1219672:Topic:1054652008-12-14T23:59:17.917ZSean Stumbaughhttps://community.fireengineering.com/profile/SeanStumbaugh
Hey All,<br />
<br />
I have some funds to build a center. What is the latest model out there? Anything new I should look at? I have been looking at ADMS simulation sofware and hardwar but it's pricey. Just looking for some fresh input.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I put together a list of software I've found for powering incident training in Command Training Centers. I distributed the list at the roundtable at FDIC, but I know there are a lot of people who couldn't make it.<br />
<br />
This is not to say that the software is limited to Command training. If anyone has software I missed, please let me know so I can add it to the list. Certainly add any comments you've got to this discussion.<br />

Lastly, Chief Frank Montagna (FDNY) wrote an article for the April 2008's Fire Engineering on Computer Simulation Aids. He discusses using computer simulation as well as reviewing a few of the products in the market (CommandSim, Fire Studio, and Code3D).

Anyone else out there attend the roundtable discussion on Thursday evening (4/10)?<br />
<br />
If you missed it, Don Abbott and Chief Brunacini talked about creating a network of instructors and organizations interested in Command Training Centers, along with issues surrounding their development and operations. Four groups presented some initial work (Clay Fire District (IN), Montgomery County, MD, and a department in Montana, and Jon Brunacini, from BShifter.com).<br />

<br />
It was interesting to see that the b-shifters wanted to create a networking site for interested departments and organizations, yet no one was talking about this Fire Engineering community site! I am certainly going to make that suggestion once I see some emails flying around, so stay tuned. It seems to make the most sense to consolidate such discussion in a place that also has links and members interested in related training topics that certainly occur within such training centers.<br />
<br />
Don Abbott (and others) spoke about the time investment in creating new scenarios (I think they estimated about 40-60 hours), and the need to promote scenario sharing. This sounds like a nice idea, but my impression is that there are some stumbling blocks that have prevented this idea from developing into something real. Of course there is a compatibility issue across different software platforms, but I think there's enormous value in laying out the flow, teaching points, and components of scenarios that transcend software format. What kinds of issues do you see that prevent or limit the ability to share scenarios/curricula?<br />
<br />
Bobby Halton spoke at the end about perhaps creating a two-day seminar on this topic later in the year. I think that'd be a great way to focus some time on common issues and further develop networking, so we all can learn what works well and how to avoid common pitfalls.<br />
<br />
We'll see if anything really develops there, which I hope. What was your impression of the event and its potential?

I was surprised that no one has yet created this type of group here, so even though I am not an authority on the subject, I figured I would try to get the conversation rolling.<br />
<br />
In witnessing several departments create their centers, I have seen a clear, unserved need in the Fire Service to help them network and share good and bad experiences. What a great opportunity for using this site to do so.<br />
<br />

As the first posting, it would be great to hear from those with operational sites or those considering building them as to what your goals are, and where you see you can use help, or any experiences you can share to help the next in line.
