Rapid intervention is an essential part of the fire suppression process. It puts trained and motivated members on scene to mitigate a firefighter Mayday. But we need to be more than just another company waiting to deploy at an incident. We need to be more proactive. As the RIT, we need to arrive on scene and quickly evaluate the situation, place our members in the best place to deploy, soften the structure to make access quicker, and then complete a successful rescue of a down firefighter. This class will take you beyond the basic RIT procedures. You will learn how to do a RIT size-up, evaluate fire conditions and suppression efforts, recognize hazards that need to be removed, and be ready to deploy quicky and efficiently to mitigate the Mayday.
