This 2-day course is intended to expand on the current SFT RIC OPS course. Students will have an opportunity to work through simulated RIC activation's and be put in situations that will make them have to think outside the box. Day one is ground school, meant to build upon your current knowledge, skills, & abilities (KSA). Day-2 is all scenarios where you will utilize these KSA when deployed to rescue a down FF. In these scenarios you will utilize many of the following skills: breaking / breaching, shoring / cribbing, PAC CAN reports, air options, packaging, drags & carries, and FF out a window and down a ladder. Students will also be required to build and operated basic rope systems. Frank Nasca

Rescue is always the first priority for any fire department. To ensure an efficient search and effective rescue techniques, we must continually practice and train. This class will cover search techniques such as Oriented Search, Directed Search, civilian drags, carries, and removals from the building. Students will also leave with a renewed understanding of what is often a misunderstood and underutilized rescue practice: Vent, Enter, Isolate, and Search (VEIS). When understood and used properly, VEIS is an effective way of searching for and removing victims from a building. This class is designed to improve your skills and make you a more effective firefighter. Matt Barnes

This 5-day academy will provide hands-on commercial and residential ventilation operations, high density forcible entry, large area search procedures, RIC deployments, air management principles and so much more! Steve Reno

This course will allow participant to learn, apply, develop and coordinate effective fire suppression tactics in IDLH conditions. This will be facilitated under an ICS Command & Control structure while maintaining accountability and safety of all personnel on the fire ground. It is imperative that first responders train in like environments with multi-tasking coordination with effective communication while stabilizing an incident. This course is fluid and demanding with all firefighting skill sets. Tim Sandifer

Our -day course will consist of 2 components. We will begin with a classroom session covering the fundamentals of elevator rescues. The hands-on portion will provide attendees the opportunity to follow step-by-step procedures, LOTO, picking, poling, drifting, rescue methods, rope systems and Phase 1 & 2. This course will demonstrate how to execute elevator rescues safely and efficiently. Jason Watts

In this two day hands on training we will focus on the operations of the first in engine company. We will go over scene size up and considerations, hose pulls while overcoming obstacles, engineer responsibilities beyond the pump, single person forcible entry, forcible entry in smoked out conditions, and faster mask up times. Day 1 we will be instilling the basics while working on every skill. Day 2 will be more hands on, and all scenario based. We were all fortunate to become firefighters, now its our opportunity to live up to the Oath. Trevor Gordon

With an emphasis on the first line, this class focuses on the art of stretching, flowing, and moving a hoseline. A goal on every fire is for the first unit to arrive on scene and get a line to the seat of the fire as quickly and efficiently as possible. How we achieve that relies heavily on our ability to estimate the stretch, deploy the line, and manage it from point A to point B. In addition to advancing the line, students will also learn both the positive and negative effects an engine company can have on the fire, an introduction to stream selection, water mapping, air entrainment, and single person forcible entry. Students can look forward to a full day of discussion and hands-on, scenario-based training aimed at making your next stretch as efficient as possible. Rick Archuleta

Offering the new State Fire Training auto extrication curriculum, all participants will be educated on today’s vehicle anatomy and the process to work with and through the challenges that they bring to the accident scene. Real world vehicle accident scenarios will test all who attend as they are tasked to work through challenging stabilization and extrication operations. Students will learn how to size-up the scene and execute proper scene safety protocols. The use of primary and secondary stabilization and the use of stabilization struts, hand tools, electric and hydraulic extrication tools, and the proper use of air bags for extrication will be utilized. Students will also be expected to put together a plan for victim extraction and proper patient transfer to EMS personnel. Barton Pearson

This course provides the knowledge and skills to prepare an emergency responder to conduct tower rescue operations in a safe and effective manner in accordance with AHJ policies and procedures. Topics include tower construction; standards and regulations; incident size up and planning; victim management; rescue operation from ladders, elevated platforms, ground-based control systems, tower-based control systems, and multiple control systems; and incident termination. This course incorporates awareness, operations, and technician training based on NFPA 1006 (2021) Moore

Engineer Academy Fresno 2024 The Engineer Academy is a great opportunity to build real-world skills in a hands- on environment. With a heavy emphasis on drills and scenarios, the academy is geared toward the engine Driver/Operator. The Engineer Academy will help: -Firefighters looking to take their department’s Engineer exam -Firefighters who drive and operate and want to improve their skillset -Engineers looking for more experience Topics covered will include: -First-due pumping operations -Water supply operations -Multi-company scenarios -Pre-trip inspections -And more! The Engineer Academy is taught by instructors with real-world experience and is held over the course of the entire week in Fresno. The academy will include some classroom time to support the hands-on training. Students should have: completed DO 1A and 1B OR an equivalent amount of training and experience prior to the academy.
