DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING DYNAMIC
FIRE SERVICE LEADERS
Welcome to the "Inside the Command Post" website. I'm Mike Alder and I'm the Chief of the Crafton Hills Regional Fire Academy in Yucaipa, CA. I'm also a retired firefighter with the City of San Bernardino, CA. Fire Department. I retired after serving nearly 29 years and spending my entire career with one of the busiest firefighting departments in the nation. I promoted through the ranks and spent the last few years as the department's Training Officer.
I'm now in a position to continue giving back to the future fire service leaders some of the valuable leadership and fire ground lessons that I have learned over the years. This website is dedicated to continuing the ongoing fire service training that I have committed to over the last few decades. I have received so much positive feedback from the “Inside the Command Post” videos on YouTube that naming this website the same seemed very appropriate.
It is my sincere desire to continue to have a positive impact throughout the fire service community and to speak with passion and provide an honest and pro-active look at the fire service of today and tomorrow. I have instructed at all of the major fire service training conferences during the last several years as well as providing specific training presentations to individual fire departments across the country and individual firefighters. Please contact me if you're interested in further developing yourself as a leader with one of my training seminars.
