LETS SURVIVE
This 8 hour course pertains to NFPA 1001, Standard on Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications.
The purpose of this course is to develop strategies and tactics for self-rescue of trapped
firefighters. There are times when fire fighters may find themselves alone, trapped or entangled in deteriorating conditions and it is paramount they possess the skills and techniques to self-rescue if necessary. This course teaches the skills and self-confidence to master different life saving strategies and techniques fire fighters should know and practice.
The course begins with a classroom presentation. Students are then instructed in how to
implement the skills and techniques and to demonstrate a forcible exit from an entrapment. This course utilizes L.ET.S. Fire Fighter Entrapment Simulator which includes a demanding maze, entanglement area, collapse zone, window bale out/bale up area, forcible exit area and exit practices from lightweight building construction buildings.
