Students will face four technical rescue scenarios--car into a building, scaffolding rescue, fork truck/high rack shelving collapse, and heavy object entrapment--using tools and equipment found on most extrication companies. Working with ingenuity, teamwork, an understanding of physics and safety, and some basic skills training, any fire crew can mitigate these more common technical rescues. This course will equip rescuers with the knowledge and skills to approach these incidents with a divergent thinking mindset and the ability to complete a rescue while distant resources are still en route.

PPE Required: Lightweight rescue gear or jumpsuit, helmet, gloves, safety toe boots, eye protection, or structural fire gear.

*Eligible for CEH/CAPCE Credit
