Simultaneously: Annual State Fire School in Ames Class Descriptions: Rapid Intervention Training This class is designed for firefighters with “moderate” level experience in rapid intervention techniques and firefighter survival. The goal is to update the student on issues and techniques related to rapid intervention. The first day is designed to provide the student with some “street-smart” theories and techniques on rapid intervention and to prepare the students for day two. The second day is dedicated entirely to rapid intervention scenarios of increasing difficulty. These are designed to challenge the student’s mind, teamwork, and skills. Objectives: This course will challenge the student with advanced RIT scenarios requiring excellent teamwork and ingenuity. We will review skills for “specific” scenarios such as: • History of & Need for RIT • RIT-Related Equipment • Basic RIT deployment skills (locating the downed FF) • Basic Skills for Moving the Downed Firefighter • Basic SCBA problem resolution skills • FF thru / stuck in the floor. • Removing FF out an upper floor via windows. • Limited space evolutions. • Multiple downed FF’s. Hybrid Auto Class Throughout the training program, the Instructor will dispel some of the commonly held myths surrounding hybrid vehicle extrications. Emergency personnel will be educated on the unique dangers surrounding these vehicles and how to minimize the risk to both themselves and victims. From an in-depth look at the technology in hybrids to response procedures, this training covers everything needed to operate safely and effectively around these vehicles. This training program is tailored to the departments hours and will include a PowerPoint presentation, a quick-reference sheet on current hybrid models will be distributed to the students.
