WE TRAIN EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO BE BETTER PREPARED

This Class pertains to NFPA 1006, 2013 edition, Machinery Rescue

While Machinery incidents do not occur on a regular basis, first responders must be prepared to respond and assist in the extrication of victims as required. Large Machinery rescue is an essential part of extrication, but courses are difficult to obtain and require the acquisition of large machinery to perform rescue skills. LETS will travel to the host agency and provide the needed resources for hosting departments to develop rescue skills and techniques on large machinery, using a combination of extrication equipment (LETS provided & Host Agency provided). 

Farm equipment and large machinery provided will be relevant to geographic region and acceptable machinery for the region.
