This 2 day course is designed to take students from basic over-the-bank rescues to progressively more vertical scenarios. Students learn and practice such skills as preplanning, size-up and scene management, ascending and descending, belaying, mechanical advantage systems, lowering and raising systems, patient packaging and litter attending. Safety will be of the upmost importance. Instructors will have the right to remove a student from the program if they create an unsafe situation. Basic rope knowledge preferred.

PPE: LONG PANTS, GLOVES, HELMET AND RAIN GEAR REQUIRED. ROPE HARNESS, HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED AFTER BEING INSPECTED AND APPROVED BY THE INSTRUCTORS.

This 1 day course allows students to be instructed on methods they can use to disentangle victims from a variety of situations. Basic techniques for removing rings are addressed. Evolutions progress in complexity to include auger entrapments, impalements (fencing/inside vehicles), persons trapped under vehicles, torch operations, as well as other “tips & tricks” learned from real-world experiences. The Classroom and Practical Skills portion of the program focus on finding the least complicated method of performing such rescues rather than "overthinking" the given situation.

PPE: Bunker Gear and Eye Protection

The class is designed to provide responders who may be working near water or flood conditions with sufficient knowledge to be aware of hazards created by this environment and develop an understanding of water rescue techniques.   The class will allow responders to support rescue teams that may be called to assist in flooding incidents.  There are no pre-requisites, recertifies at Water and Flood Awareness Level.
