Large Area Search Course
Description:
The ability to safely search large, wide open areas has plagued fire departments for years. Searching for fire, victims or downed firefighters in these spaces is difficult at best. Gymnasiums, churches, grocery stores, car dealerships, bowling alleys, and malls are only some of the obstacles that your department may face. To better equip the fire service, we offer this intense fire ground training for Interior Firefighters that includes:
- Tag Line searches
- Firefighter Rescue
- Use of Thermal Imaging Cameras (T.I.C.)
Students must be capable of wearing SCBA and possess a current medical clearance for SCBA use.
Audience:
Interior Firefighters, FAST/RIT members, Line Officers
Prerequisites:
Firefighter 1 or equivalent (Students need to bring SCBA and spare bottle)
Course Length:
Eight (8) hours
