Each year for the past 5 years, over 2,000 fire officers have attended Command School and learned how to better manage and operate at the multitude of emergency incidents that they respond to. The prestigious International Association of Fire Chiefs, and Fire Chief Magazine, the magazine for progressive fire service leaders, jointly co-sponsor the 2002 nationwide conference schedule.
 

Command School, Inc. is also pleased to announce that it has purchased the assets of the "Abbottville Simulator"; and Command Emergency Response Training of Indianapolis, IN, from Don and Bev Abbott.  The Abbott's will continue to be course developers and instructors for Command School, and will conduct training seminars for future "Abbottville"; instructors to maintain the quality and integrity of the classes. The Abbottville simulator is a scenario based training display that allows students to practice all aspects and levels of incident command training and management.

All past commitments for training sessions are being honored, and new dates and availability of the famed Abbottville simulator will now be available due to the increase of trained and highly qualified field instructors and additional set-up displays.
