Performing accurate and informative size-up’s and 360’s are critical skills that all responders need to master. This training package reviews important considerations using the popular acronym COAL WAS WEALTH, among other techniques and factors. An accompanying simulation package of twenty-two (22) simulations covers different residential and commercial structures, and can help you apply the lessons in training your company officers and incident commanders.

Excerpt from the Instructor’s Guide:

“The initial size up is one of the most important facets of emergency response and sets the direction for all future actions.  As such it is one of the most critical skills for incident commanders and company officers to master because dispatch and later-arriving crews will depend on this information to determine their response. Size-up is too big a subject to consider each aspect of it in detail during a single training course.  It needs to be broken down into manageable parts…”
