Excuse the Electronic Mess

Company Commander is getting updated and refocused for 2018. Don’t mind the chaos.

The process is starting to revise NFPA 1021 Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications that will be released in 2020.

We will be focusing on the needs of the Fire Officer I and II. Depending on your department that represents the ranks from Sergeant to Battalion Chief.

I am in the process of adding features, there is going to be some electronic chaos as I add features and work out some bugs … like the current one when you attempt to sign up.

Appreciate your patience.
