On Monday, 27th March, seven candidates successful completed their Incident Command Level 1 Course, delivered at Port Talbot Fire Station by the Incident Command Team (ICS).
The 5-day intensive programme, designed to prepare firefighters for the responsibilities of taking charge of operational appliances, featured two days of immersive incident scenarios. Each candidate was required to take command of a range of realistic operational incidents, demonstrating their decision-making, leadership, and command skills in line with the standards required to achieve the Skills for Justice (SFJ) qualification. The candidates met the required criteria, validating their competence to serve as officers in charge at operational incidents.
As part of the course delivery, colleagues from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended to observe the assessments and support the running of scenarios. Their involvement strengthened inter-service collaboration and fostered positive working relationships between the services. The shared learning environment also allowed for constructive feedback and professional development opportunities for all involved.
The Incident Command Team would like to congratulate all the candidates on their achievement and extends a big thanks to North Wales Fire and Rescue Service for their involvement.
