104 “Bread & Butter” BootcampEvery fire department is being challenged to do more with less. This often puts firefighters into dangerous situations. We often ask, what training can be done to enable us to meet our challenges? Surely training can be a key to our safety, but where should we start? The answer is to start at the beginning. Start with your “Bread and Butter.” This 3-day, high impact, high energy “Bread & Butter” program, will NOT be your typical class! Rather this class will focus on those fundamental skills and aspects utilized on the fire ground that are not mastered or never employed. This INTENSE training program will provide participants with both classroom and realistic hands-on learning through training-in-context and scenario based training, some under live fire conditions, enhancing personal proficiency and reinforcing those skills required on today’s modern fire ground. This program will be packed with those critical elements employed on the fire ground.

501 Kentucky Fire Commission to include Kentucky’s New Junior Firefighter Program “NEW”Ronnie Day will be on hand, along with staff and commission members, to present you with information concerning the Fire Commission updates and activities at the state level. They will discuss various commission programs to include:• Fire Commission operations• Training program for the beginner and expert• Audits• Junior Firefighter programKentucky’s New Junior Firefighter ProgramWhen you take an overall look at the Kentucky Fire Service, you will find more than 22,000 firefighters responding from approximately 820 departments. You will also find that collectively all involved are exceedingly dedicated to two fundamental objectives: protecting the lives and property of those they serve, and ensuring that at the end of the day they, and those around them, are able to go home safely.More than any other occupation, the desire to become a member of the fire/rescue/EMS delivery system is something that can often be identified at a young age. Often multiple generations choose to follow older relatives’ footsteps and become first responders. Whatever the reason, the fire service and emergency services sector as a whole tend to attract people at a younger age than most other occupations. As a result, many different programs have been developed to teach skills, leadership and discipline to the participants, while at the same time helping the departments meet some of their needs and grooming potential members for future service.In an effort to better prepare the fire service throughout the Commonwealth, the Kentucky Fire Commission implemented a new Junior Firefighter Program on January 1, 2011. This introduction and overview will address the process of how the program was developed and what specifically a Junior Firefighter can and cannot do in accordance with the new approved guidelines. Specific areas to be addressed will include: general overall requirements, public education, classroom and hands-on training, and incident response.Note: This 1-day class will be offered on Thursday.Lead Instructor: Executive Director Ronnie Day, Mary Adams, Therese Cheney, Butch McKinney and Jeremy Rodgers, Kentucky Fire Commission

502 Integrating the KY Fire Service into the KY Intelligence Fusion Center “NEW”Federal, State and Local Partnerships Working Together to Protect our Communities! (FOUO)Suspicious activity, whether occurring in rural settings or in large cities, can be the key to identifying criminal and terrorist plots being developed on a local, state, or national scale. Firefighters are often first to arrive on an incident scene, allowed into industry for the purpose of preplanning, and spend countless hours conducting home inspections. These actions could result in observing suspicious or criminal activity. This class identifies recommended actions and guidance to effectively integrate these observations by our fire service into the KY fusion center and methods in which information from the KY fusion center can be provided to our fire service.NOTE: This 1-day course will be offered Friday.Lead Instructors: Thomas Arnold, Fire Service Liaison, KY Intelligence Fusion Center; and Earl Rose, US Department of Homeland Security Senior Intelligence Officer
