NEW JERSEY STATE FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION
Training
NJ Wildwood Convention Training-Thursday, September 11th, 2025
Registration Begins 8am in the Convention Center
This year’s program, presented by Safety and Survival and Battalion Chief Chris Santone, of Mt. Laurel Fire Department will focus on the important topic of Strategy & Tactics for Large Commercial Warehouse Fires.
New Jersey has been inundated with these large warehouses with several serious fires here and around the United States resulting in often over-taxed resources, many stations responding, and both tactical and strategic errors made. We all may sometime have an opportunity to respond to one of these massive events. Chief Santone will try to make us better prepared should we respond to and command or participate in one of these large-scale events.
These are very complex events posing significant challenges due to building size, fuel load, access limitations, delayed detection, and potential structural collapse. This training program will explore real-world case studies, fire behavior in these open and high-ceiling environments, pre-planning considerations, and coordinated multi-company operations. The course will emphasize the importance of early risk assessment, water supply management, command structure, ventilation tactics, and defensive vs. offensive decision-making in rapidly evolving fire conditions.
This program is designed to enhance operational leadership through decision-making, reinforce incident command principles, and improve fireground outcomes through proactive planning and decisive tactical execution.
This is a great program that you don’t want to miss!
If you pre-pay your 2026 dues before Wildwood, the cost will only be $10.00 per attendee. If you haven’t paid your 2026 dues the cost will be $25.00. Non-members cost of the seminar will be $40.00.
