This workshop is a straightforward introduction to using Microsoft Copilot Chat (specifically M365 Copilot Chat) for core fire department tasks that involve the web. Participants will practice prompting, draft policies, and review a real dataset with details for each call so they see how these skills fit into daily work in the field and the office. The session gives you a repeatable playbook, a practical prompting guide, and copy-ready templates for policies, briefings, and grant writing so you do not have to wait on someone else to get moving. This training matters if paperwork and reports slow you down and you want skills and tools to work faster, communicate clearly, and get more value from data every day. You are welcome to join along. Please bring a device with M365 Copilot Chat available to join along and a Credly skilling badge will be provided to those who attend.
