Colorado Assists in Nationwide Goal to Train 17 Million
Emergency Personnel in NIMS
The class ended today with the certifiication of 27 new Incident Command
System (ICS) instructors. We are proud of each instructor as they have stepped
up to assist in training 17 million first responders and emergency workers
nationwide in the Naitonal Incident Management System (NIMS).
Thanks to each new ICS instructor who took the time to take the week long
training course. And thanks to the instructor trainers and guest lecturers who
were willing to teach the best practices of ICS 300-400 level training course. These included: Todd Manns, Chad Ray and Jim Krugman.
We will go forward by having the new instructors work with the seasoned
instructors statewide. The first course being taught with the new material will
be at the Colorado Wildfire Academy in January 2012 at Aims Community College.
