PRI offers high and low angle rescue training. These courses will give responders
hands-on experience in rope rescue procedures and the content will adhere to NFPA
1006 and NFPA 1670. The purpose of this course is to explain basic strategies to
safeguard responders’ health and safety when dealing with potential dangers
associated with high and low angle rope rescue emergencies. Individuals will gain
basic knowledge in tying knots, new equipment, proper anchoring, and proper patient
packaging. These courses allow responders to work together to understand the
patient’s needs. Remember we are there for the well being of our customer, the
patient.
Technical Rope Rescue: Operations Level
This course meets the requirements for the NFPA 1670 Standard at the Operations
Level for technical rope incidents. It is a two-day course. There is 4 hrs. of classroom
instruction followed by 12 hrs. of field operations.
Students will learn and practice all areas of rope rescue in a low-angle environment.
Students are trained in pre-planning and size-up of rope rescue operations; knots,
bends, hitches and anchor systems; belay operations; ascending and descending
lines; mechanical advantage systems, raising and lowering systems; and patient
packaging and litter attending.
Safety of the rescuer, rescue team, patient and bystanders will be stressed at all
times.
Equipment Requirements:
· Lightweight climbing or fire helmet.
· Sit harness (class II).
· Boots.
· Coveralls.
· Leather gloves.
Technical Rope Rescue: Technical Level
This two-day course meets the requirements for the Technical Level for the NFPA
1670 Standard for technical rope incidents. This course has two days of field
operations. Students will advance from basic over-the-bank rescues to progressively
more vertical scenarios. Students are trained in pre-planning and size-up of rope
rescue operations; knots, hitches and anchor systems; belay operations; ascending
and descending; raising and lowering systems; and patient packaging and litter
attending.
This course will also cover advanced problem solving. Safety of the rescuer, rescue
team, patient and bystanders will be stressed at all times.
