Promotional readiness · A FireMettle partner
Ready for the seat. Now get ready for the process.
FireMettle builds the skills a firefighter, driver operator or officer needs on the job. When the promotion itself is in front of you, the interview, the in-basket, the leadership scenarios, we send you to the people who do that work full time: Command Presence Consulting.
Who they are
Command Presence Consulting
A fire service leadership firm founded by a battalion chief of twenty years in the fire service, with more than twenty-six in leadership, management and labor-management relations, from company officer to command. Their training comes from fireground and firehouse experience, not generic leadership theory, and their line is short: prepare to lead, prepare to promote.
What they do
The promotional process, and the officer you become after it.
Promotional preparation
Practice for firefighter and fire officer promotional processes: the interview, the in-basket, leadership scenarios, decision-making and command presence.
One-on-one coaching
Promotional and leadership coaching built around your goals, your experience and the process you are facing.
Officer leadership development
A twelve-month leadership academy for aspiring, newly promoted and experienced fire officers, and an eight-week promotion accelerator on promotional preparation and command decision-making.
Free guides to start
A new officer field guide and a lieutenant interview and in-basket preparation guide, free on their site, with a knowledge center and training videos behind them.
Who it is for
Anyone with a promotional process ahead of them.
- Firefighters testing for driver operator or company officer who want to walk into the interview and the in-basket already practiced.
- Newly promoted officers who want the first year to go better than it does for most.
- Experienced officers preparing for captain, battalion chief or a command assignment.
- Departments that want promotional preparation or leadership training for their people.
Keep training the seat here. FireMettle's Driver Operator and Company Officer programs are where the pump, the fireground and the radio get practiced; their programs are where the promotional process gets practiced. The two fit together.
