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

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.
