Keep it Simple!A critical error many candidates make in the tactical problem of our assessment center coaching session is try to put too much into play out of sequence early on in the exercise and make the problem bigger than the raters have given them. Is this how they have been taught in classes? Often, candidates will give assignments to units to place positive pressure ventilation, a crew to pull ceilings, assign more than one unit to carry out search rescue and other tasks, call the canteen truck, and add a rescue problem that wasn’t given to them. This is before they have the first line on the fire, a RIT team assigned, utilities pulled and sending a crew to the roof for ventilation. The fire gets away from them (they will probably make the fire bigger then you can fight eventually---they just want to see how long you can tread water) and they are out of equipment and resources before they realize what happened. Yes, you want to cover all the bases to make sure the box is check off on the rating sheet, but the best offensive for extinguishment and rescue is an aggressive fire attack!
