Leadership Development

Emergency response agencies are about people: Those who respond and those whom they serve.

The equipment and apparatus of these agencies are simply tools; whether the tools are effective or useless depends on HOW they are used and cared for. However, the most important tool for saving lives and property is effective leadership and competent staff unified in their sense of duty.

Whether emergency services agencies are located in Seattle or Kamapala, Lagos or New York City they share a common challenge: effective training, management and leadership of their human resources.

Each emergency services agency has its own personality — with both effective and dysfunctional qualities. Some agencies are highly effective and rise above their challenges. Others never reach their potential.

Targhee Fire has a proven record of mentoring organizations through a unique process of introspection, self-discovery and improvement.

Custom Curriculum

Targhee Fire uses a variety of proven, internationally recognized training programs including International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA).

Additionally, Targhee additionally creates custom, outcome-based curriculum to meet the unique needs of agencies and organizations.

Programs such as “Wildland Urban Interface Fire Suppression, An Introduction to Wildfire Risk Management and WUI Strategies and Tactics” researched created for the State of Washington (U.S.) and “Organizational Leadership in the Fire Services” written for Lagos State Fire Services (Nigeria) represent training courses written for a specific audience.

Targhee staff are internationally certified in educational research to develop training programs and verify their efficacy.
