The U.S. Fire Administration’s (USFA) National Fire Academy (NFA) recently announced four Incident Command System (ICS) Simulation Series courses are now available through NFA Online. The ICS Simulation Series courses are designed to provide challenges to the newly appointed, inexperienced fire officer as well as the experienced senior fire officer. Each course addresses a different type of incident and allows the student to assume the role of the Incident Commander on the scene.

The four new courses are:

Q324 – Incident Command System Simulation Series: Ranch House
Q325 – Incident Command System Simulation Series: Town House
Q326 – Incident Command System Simulation Series: Mansion
Q424 – Incident Command System Simulation Series: Nursing Home

To access these four courses, as well as others, visit NFA Online at www.nfaonline.dhs.gov and select the Browse Catalog or New Student options.

There are currently 12 online courses available through NFA Online with topics including Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Response to Terrorism, Fire Prevention, Incident Management, Management Science, and Public Education.
