In-Depth Class Details

Elevated Rescue

This 2-day program builds responder skills for safe and efficient elevated rescue operations. Students learn anchor systems, raise and lowering evolutions, high-line skate blocks, and effective patient packaging. Hands-on scenarios using multiple training structures provide realistic rappelling and rescue evolutions, ensuring participants leave confident in high-angle environments.

Big Rig Rescue

This 2-day class prepares responders to manage complex incidents involving tractor-trailers and other heavy vehicles. Students work through realistic scenarios—overturns, over-rides, and under-rides—using tow trucks, rescue struts, cribbing, and airbag systems to lift and stabilize large vehicles during heavy extrication. The course concludes by pairing with the Advanced Extrication class for a multi-vehicle highway crash scenario using techniques learned.

Advanced Extrication

This 2-day hands-on course focuses on advanced vehicle rescue techniques beyond the basics. Students will practice stabilization of complex crash scenarios, gain access to rollovers with limited space, and work with stacked vehicles. The course culminates in a multi-vehicle highway crash scenario, paired with the Big Rig Rescue class, providing integrated, realistic training for challenging extrications.

Industrial Emergencies

This hands-on class provides emergency responders with techniques for safely managing industrial entrapments. Participants will learn to respond to incidents involving personnel trapped, entangled, or pinned in various types of machinery. Practical exercises cover a range of scenarios, from ring removals to complex machine entanglements, giving responders the skills and confidence needed for real-world machinery rescue situations.

Motorsports

This hands-on class focuses on the unique challenges of motorsports vehicle incidents. Participants will learn the components of a race car, safe extrication techniques, and strategies for managing the complexities of motorsports rescues. Realistic scenarios give responders practical experience in dealing with high-speed vehicle crashes and confined spaces.

Innovative Search

This high-energy, hands-on class equips responders with real-world skills for any search scenario, including safe and efficient victim drags, smart search tactics, and effective team communication under stress. Participants will practice the confident application of VEIS for rapid rescues through live, forward-thinking drills. By the end of the course, responders leave with the skills and confidence to lead, respond, and serve their community at the highest level.

Mastering the Attack Line

This hands-on class teaches essential hoseline skills for effective fireground operations. Participants will practice nozzle techniques, proper line stretching for optimal positioning, and clear team communication. The course also covers planning and executing non traditional hose lays to enhance overall firefighting strategy.

Confined Space (Saturday)

Step into the world of confined space rescue with this high-energy, hands-on course designed for real-world responders. Attendees will sharpen their skills in hazard recognition, atmospheric monitoring, PPE, rescue equipment, knot tying, and patient packaging while mastering safe confined space entry procedures. Dynamic practical evolutions bring the challenges of confined space operations to life.

Lithium-Ion Fires (Sunday)

This dynamic course explores lithium-ion battery construction, chemistries, and emerging applications while breaking down what happens when these batteries are exposed to fire and thermal runaway. Participants will observe live, hands-on suppression demonstrations using operational lithium-ion batteries and evaluate multiple extinguishment and mitigation techniques in real time. The class wraps up with critical on-scene considerations, including post-fire remediation and exposure reduction through effective decontamination practices. Instructed by Full Circle Lithium.
