Back to the Big Show: FDIC 2026
FDIC 2026 - CORLEY MOORE 🤘🤘
APRIL 23RD @ 8:30AM / ROOM 243 - 245
The fire service has a way of taking you on a journey you never quite expect. It’s such an honor to once again be part of the lineup at FDIC in 2026. Firefighters from across the country and around the world come together during this week in Indianapolis for the largest fire conference - THE BIG SHOW!!! It’s a place where experience meets innovation and where the conversations in hallways can be just as powerful as the sessions themselves.
I hope you will join me in Room 243–245 on Thursday (4/23) at 8:30 AM. for “Down & Dirty Fireground Decision Making” FDIC style.
No short class can turn someone into the ultimate fireground decision maker, but Down and Dirty provides the tools and a framework for beginning that journey. Starting on the premise that making decisions is simple when you understand your priorities, and then building from there - and this all happens within the first twenty minutes. Just remember that simple does not mean easy!
The remainder of the class is then spent defining fireground tactical decision making, and how to best maximize each and every attendees fireground experience, training, situational awareness and their comfort level when making decisions.
I believe there is a massive need in the fire service to prepare those who operate in decision making roles to be more decisive and deliberate on the modern fireground and to understand that decision making is based on understanding your priorities. When there is a clear understanding of this throughout an organization then you can operate at a very high level, and with intentionality.
Experience, combined with training to maximize your situational awareness and build confidence when it matters most. The keys to achieving this are outlined in this class. When conditions are difficult and constantly changing, nothing replaces a well prepared and decisive fireground commander.
