The NJ State Fire Chiefs Association presents:
"Leading With A Purpose"
2024 Convention Seminar

The New Jersey State Fire Chiefs Association proudly presents Chief Johnathan Yahr of the Lakewood Fire Department at our 2024 "Leadership With A Purpose" Convention Seminar in Wildwood. He will be delivering his course titled "Leading from the front Incident Command." 

This program will explore the uses of ICS from the most basic single-unit response through multiple alarm responses. The key points will be the implementation of ICS before, during, and after incidents. We will discuss pre-incident plans, designated assignments for apparatus and personnel, setting up and organizing the command post, scaling to the incident size, utilizing current and emerging technology to enhance the IC’s ability to make informed decisions. From Vineland to Newark, we will cover ICS for all.

Jonathan Yahr has dedicated 31 years to the fire service, currently serving as Chief of Department at the Lakewood Fire Department. He previously held the ranks of Lieutenant and Captain on Engine 5 and Ladder 5. From 2002 to 2010, he worked for the Department of Defense Fire at Navy Lakehurst as a firefighter. Jonathan is also a certified Fire Instructor 1 in the State of NJ. He is a progressive and aggressive fire service leader in a fast-growing and diverse city with enormous challenges to be managed. Chief Yahr brings to the table a great proactive portfolio of applied leadership, recognizing the past but with an eye to the future in New Jersey’s fastest-growing city.
