Command and General Staff for Local IMT’S is a course set for multidiscipline personnel that will be required to work together as a team to effectively manage an incident or event during the first operational period.
This is a 48-hour course that enables students to demonstrate knowledge of the Incident
Command System (ICS) and the Command and General Staff functions as they affect planning and implementation of the ICS for an incident at the local level, through instructor-driven lecture, class participation, active contributions to the interactive activities, and simulations.
The Georgia Fire Academy will be offering this course twice in January. The first offering will be in Paulding County and the second will be in Barrow County.
