ComTac Training · Three-Day Fire Command Challenge

You Know Incident Command.
How Often Do You Actually Get to Practice It?

A private, immersive place to practice fireground command, make decisions, communicate assignments, review your performance, and get better before the real call comes.

No classroom. No audience. No apparatus out of service.

The problem ComTac solves

Fire officers learn command. ComTac gives them a place to practice it.

Traditional education can teach the concepts. ComTac puts you in the position of the Incident Commander and requires you to recognize conditions, make decisions, communicate clearly, and adjust as the incident develops.

01

A Safe Place to Get Better

Problem: Command training can feel awkward when everyone is watching.

Solution: Practice privately, review your own performance, and improve without embarrassment.

“ComTac gives you a private place to make decisions, make mistakes, and improve without the fear of embarrassment. Your scores are yours to review. The goal is simple: get better before the real call comes.”
Joe ClucheyFire Chief · Illinois
“After completing the Three-Day Challenge, I realized there were decisions I thought I was making quickly that I was actually hesitating on. The simulations forced me to think, communicate, and act under pressure. I came away with a much clearer picture of where I need to improve.”
John CermakFire Chief · Washington
02

Identify Strengths. Improve Weaknesses.

Problem: Every officer has strengths, blind spots, and skills that improve through repetition.

Solution: Use repeated simulations to identify strengths, expose weaknesses, and build confidence.

“The Three-Day Challenge showed me things about my command performance that I probably would not have recognized on my own. I could see where my communication was strong, where I missed details, and where I needed to improve. That kind of feedback was extremely valuable.”
David RoncoTraining Chief · California
“What surprised me most was how much more comfortable I felt by the third day. The repetition made a difference. I was giving clearer assignments, recognizing conditions faster, and feeling more confident in my decisions. Nine simulations in three days gave me command practice I simply do not get every day.”
Rich ToledoChief Officer · California
03

Turn Knowledge into Practical Command

Problem: Eventually every officer has to move from discussing command concepts to actually making decisions.

Solution: Turn classroom knowledge into practical command decision-making.

“I use ComTac to move students beyond talking about command. They have to size up the incident, communicate, make assignments, and manage changing conditions. It turns classroom knowledge into practical decision-making.”
Michael BaileyFire Service Instructor · Indiana
04

Train on Your Schedule

Problem: Realistic command training can require personnel, apparatus, instructors, scheduling, and time.

Solution: Run meaningful command simulations from your office, station, or home.

“I can run a realistic command simulation from my office without taking companies out of service or coordinating a large training exercise. It gives me meaningful fireground command repetitions whenever I have the time.”
Michael HandBattalion Chief · California

The Three-Day Challenge

One simulation can be interesting. Repetition is what makes it training.

Day 1Establish your baseline
Day 2Apply what you learned
Day 3See what changed

A Fire Chief’s Perspective

Useful for new officers—and for experienced officers who need to keep the rust off.

“This was very challenging. I learned a lot about what this process is. It will be good for new officers and continuing education for current officers to keep knocking the rust off.”
Dave FischlerFire Chief · New York / Florida

What will you discover about your command performance?

Three days. Nine simulations. A private opportunity to recognize strengths, identify weaknesses, and make the next decision better.
