Columbus Division of Fire was presented with one of the most challenging responses in the department’s history this year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Maintaining operational efficiency was vital to addressing COVID-19 as it swept across the nation. The main keys to success were implementing an incident command structure, establishing an incident action plan and communications with our members and key stakeholders in our response, along with contact tracing in collaboration with the local health department. This presentation will cover how those were successfully carried out, plus other lessons learned to highlight the COVID-19 response for the Columbus Division of Fire.
