LETS SURVIVE

This course is designed to highlight the need for self-survival skills and to teach firefighters these skills. Everyday more and more firefighters die in the line of duty, some while fighting fires, others in building collapses or in non-fire events on a fire scene. The firefighters attending this course will learn the need for self-survival methods, basic procedures, and forcible exit techniques on a fire incident.

This is a physically challenging course that will provide emergency SCBA skills and procedures for interior attack firefighters. Emphasis will be placed on skills and procedures for air conservation, emergency breathing techniques, entanglement, mental control, disorientation, and donning & doffing an SCBA in confined spaces. When students complete this course they will have the skills to reduce the risk of fire service fatalities and injuries.
