Chief Dennis Reilly
Presents
SMALL TOWN COMMAND

1 Night Only
At McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department

This course will focus on incident command, fire ground tactics, command and control, resource requests, size up, and fire ground operations in a low staffed setting.
Ideal for small municipalities and volunteer departments where senior leadership may not always be present or where the department is stretched thin, this class aims to make all members of the organization tactically competent if they were to be first arriving and assuming the command role.

Chief Dennis Reilly is a U.S. Army veteran of Operation Desert Storm and a 50-year fire service leader. He began his fire career in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where he rose to the rank of Battalion Chief. After retiring, he transitioned into senior Chief Officer roles across the country, serving in Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, and California. From combat zones to command posts, Reilly has lived a life of disciplined service and high-impact leadership.

Now retired, Chief Reilly owns The First Line Fire Service Training Company LLC, where he delivers intensive, mission-focused training built around cultural transformation, operational accountability, and frontline leadership. Departments nationwide seek his guidance to spark internal change and elevate their culture throughout the ranks.

Chief Reilly is a veteran instructor of national conferences such as FDIC, LIFT, CFT, Revolutionary Fire Tactics, and many others.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to catch him in a small group setting sharing his wisdom and knowledge.

It's almost time for Firemanship !!!

It's a true honor to be able to support this program annually and a genuine blessing to call these men and women our brothers and sisters. Sullivan Fire Protection District has an amazing culture and a top notch group serving their community. Thank you for another amazing week and the brotherhood and hospitality you all show to us every year and for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible cadre of instructors. We are humbled to be included and in the company of such wonderful human beings. It's truly impressive to have nearly 40 instructors from across the country come together united by a common goal and mission of leaving the fire service better than we found it and building the next generation of firefighters. We couldn't ask for better friends and family than you all and we're grateful for our fire home away from home we have been graciously welcomed into by you all. Until next time Sullivan, much love and respect to you guys. We can't wait to see you again next year for the big # 20!

It's been an amazing week here at the Junior Academy in Sullivan Missouri. We'd like to pay a very special thanks to our dear brother and honorary Squad Instructor David Eigenburg for making time to come out this week with us to spend time with the cadets. For him to take time out of his busy schedule to come down is incredible and made the week that much more special for the kids and all the instructors.

We'd also like to thank Sullivan Fire Protection District for their incredible hospitality and having our team back again this year. It's a deep honor and a privilege to be here in this amazing place with these special people. We're very fortunate to have these opportunities and appreciate the Sullivan team immensely. You will not find a finer department and group of men and women or a better culture anywhere and we're deeply blessed to be here with them.

Lastly we'd like to acknowledge our team that took time out of their lives and away from their jobs and families to be here this week to help educate the next generation of the fire service. Felix Castillo, Gabriel Blue, Erik Johnson, Connor Roberts, Robert Ridley, and our newest addition to the Squad family, Matthew Amen. It's a privilege to have such an amazing group of brothers and instructors who all share the same passion and love for the job.
