The purpose of this course is to explain basic strategies to safeguard employee’s health and safety when dealing with potential dangers associated with confined spaces. Individuals will gain basic knowledge in proper entry program procedures, facility pre-planning, tying knots, new equipment, and proper patient packaging. Hands-on skills will be conducted on a mobile confined space trailer.

This course meets the requirements of NFPA 1670 Standard for ice incidents. Subjects covered include rescuer safety; self-rescue techniques; pre-planning and size-up of ice rescue incidents; rope skills; and understanding of ice properties.

This course is designed for agencies that have recognized the need to start a formalized water rescue team. Any agency that may at some time work around lakes, ponds, or flowing water will benefit from the course. This course is designed to assist your agency in meeting the Operations Level of the NFPA 1670 Standard for water incidents. Students are trained in hazard recognition; equipment use and techniques necessary to conduct basic shore and boat based rescue. This course can be held on a lake, or a slow-moving river.

This course will give responders hands-on training on trench 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 trench collapse emergencies. Individuals will gain basic knowledge in trench procedures, new equipment, trench hazards, and proper patient packaging. This course allows responders to work together to understand the patient’s needs. Hands-on skills will be obtained in a mobile trench simulator trailer.

This class will focus pick-up trucks and SUVs. Students will learn how to identify and isolate potential hazards to both you and the patient. Focus on Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) and the hazards that these systems pose to todays firefighters. Students will demonstrate advanced stabilization, extrication and patient handling techniques. Students will work in a team environment and led through evolutions including vehicles on their side and roof using heavy hydraulic and non-hydraulic extrication tools. Upon completion of these evolutions, you and your now "ready to respond" crew will engage in real time staged multi vehicle extrication scenarios.

This course will introduce the students the challenges they may encounter at a school bus accident, and is intended to produce an informed responder capable of reading a scene accurately, working effectively to save lives in a large frame vehicle type, and understanding the different dynamics of an incident involving large number of children. Students will gain valuable knowledge and skill techniques with the hands-on portion of the course. Students will participate in rescue evolutions under supervision of the instructor.

Accidents involving tractor-trailers and other large vehicles call for specialized knowledge and skills on the part of emergency responders. This class is designed for emergency response

personnel who have technician-level training as well as prior experience in vehicle extrication.

The Big Rig Rescue class offer hands-on scenarios that rescuers might face in their work: fully loaded tractor-trailers, cement mixers, tank trucks, and dump trucks involved in vehicle overturns, over-rides, and under-rides. This class provides emergency responders with extensive hands-on and classroom training in the use of tow trucks, rescue struts, cribbing, and airbag systems to lift and stabilize heavy vehicles during realistic vehicle extrication scenarios.

Personnel will operate in realistic conditions using the latest equipment available for vehicle rescue operations. This class meets the requirements of NFPA 1670 Standard for vehicle incidents.

These classes are delivered with a common sense approach that will give the student the knowledge and skills to safely and efficiently handle hazardous materials responses.

Participants are challenged throughout our sessions with comprehensive lectures and applicable “hands-on” scenarios. Training will allow participants to actively function as part of a team when meeting the high demands of today’s Hazardous Material environment. This class will provide all equipment and training props and simulators in the mobile hazmat trailer.

This class is designed to raise awareness about bin-rescue procedures and equipment, will provide extensive hands-on training. Participants will gain experience working in grain bins

and using technical rescue equipment, such as ropes, harnesses, carabineers, mechanical-advantage systems, anchorage points, cofferdams, breathing apparatus, tripods, and

victim packaging. They will experience first hand an actual engulfment and the pressures involved on their body. Participants will get their hands dirty. We will be simulating engulfment, and actually be pulling people out of grain, just like in a rescue situation. We’ll be packaging people and pulling them through the roofs of bins, working at heights, and building cofferdams in grain. We’re going to show how time-intensive and how difficult these things can be. Hands-on will be accomplished using a mobile grain bin simulator trailer.

This class teaches the skills needed to safely and efficiently perform rescues involving agricultural machinery. The class focuses on classifications of agricultural equipment, common injuries and accidents, and patient stabilization and extrication. This course will discuss farm machinery accidents to include: tractors, combines, hay balers, augers, animal incidents, farm chemicals. This course will take an in-depth look at agricultural trauma, focusing on injuries from accidents created by these farm implements. Discussion will also cover an overview of farm equipment used during harvest season, and methods used during these rescue situations. The hands-on portion of the course will focus on corn head entrapment & auger entanglement provided on a mobile simulator equipment trailer.

This class is designed provide training techniques on industrial entrapments. Participants will learn how to respond for incidents involving personnel who have become trapped, entangled or pinned in various types of machinery. This course will provide emergency responders with the knowledge and skills required to respond to machinery rescue incidents. Hands-on skills will include entrapments from ring removals to entanglements in machines.
