 The technical rescue incident awareness training provides participants with an overview of the fundamental concepts and considerations associated with technical rescue operations. The training covers various types of technical rescue incidents such as confined space rescue, high-angle rescue, trench rescue, and structural collapse rescue. Participants learn about hazard recognition, equipment familiarization, incident size-up, and understanding the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in technical rescue operations. Emphasis is placed on the importance of scene safety, risk assessment, and effective communication in complex and high-risk rescue scenarios. The goal is to enhance participants' awareness and understanding of technical rescue incidents, ensuring they are better prepared to support safe and successful rescue operations 

 The low angle rope training focuses on equipping participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform rope rescue operations in low-angle environments. Participants will be trained in essential techniques such as anchor systems and rigging, knot tying and rope management, patient packaging and movement, as well as safety considerations. The training will include hands-on exercises, simulated scenarios, and assessments to ensure participants are proficient in low angle rope rescue procedures. 

 This course is designed to meet the NFPA and OSHA/PESH yearly refresher training for all fire department apparatus operators.  This course will consist of a 2 hour classroom session and a 3 hour, hands-on driver training course.

OSHA/PESH Training topics include:

 The firefighter pump operations training focuses on equipping participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate fire pumps effectively and safely during emergency response situations. The training covers topics such as pump theory, hydraulic principles, pump components and controls, drafting operations, water supply strategies, and hose line management. Participants will receive practical, hands-on training in setting up and operating fire pumps, conducting pump and equipment inspections, and troubleshooting common operational issues. The goal of the training is to ensure that participants are capable of efficiently managing water-based firefighting operations and maintaining water flow during fire suppression efforts. 

 The Fire Department Building Construction training provides firefighters and emergency responders with an in-depth understanding of various types of building construction and their impact on firefighting operations. The training covers topics such as building materials, structural systems, fire behavior in different construction types, and building codes. Additionally, participants will learn about the potential structural hazards and collapse considerations associated with various types of building construction. The training may include case studies, and practical demonstrations to familiarize participants with building construction and its implications for firefighting tactics and safety considerations. The goal of the training is to enhance the knowledge and awareness of firefighters and emergency responders, enabling them to make informed decisions and operate safely and effectively in a variety of building construction scenarios.
