Trainings

Firefighters gain the foundational knowledge necessary to perform exterior fire operations. This training covers fire behavior, hose line advancement, water supply, ladder operations, search and rescue techniques, HAZMAT operations, and fireground safety. This program enables effective emergency response operation on fire scenes.

Firefighters build on their skills from BEFO and learn to safely and effectively enter burning structures. Skills include advanced fire behavior, use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), search and rescue, ventilation, forcible entry, fire suppression techniques, and firefighter survival. 

EMT-Bs obtain essential training for pre-hospital emergency environments. In this course, they learn patient assessment, airway management, CPR, trauma care, various medical emergencies, and the use of life-saving equipment. 

Certified First Responders receive foundational training in emergency care and scene readiness. This course covers patient assessment, basic airway management, CPR, bleeding control, and initial trauma care.

This course trains firefighters to operate fire apparatus pumping systems safely and effectively. Participants learn water supply operations, pump theory, pressure management, drafting techniques, and tactical considerations to support reliable fireground water flow.

This training introduces responders to the fundamentals of vehicle extrication. The course covers scene safety, stabilization, tool operations, glass management, and patient access techniques, preparing firefighters to assist in safely removing occupants from vehicles.

In both Surface Water Rescue and Swift Water Rescue, members learn how to safely navigate and perform rescues in fast-moving, open water environments. Training covers water dynamics, self-rescue techniques, rope systems, boat operations, victim extrication, and flood response strategies. Rescuers assess hazards, utilize specialized equipment, and execute swift, effective rescues while prioritizing safety in high-risk water conditions.

Ice Water Rescue training equips our responders with the skills needed to safely perform rescues in frozen and cold water environments. Training includes ice assessment, self-rescue techniques, victim retrieval, specialized rescue equipment use, and hypothermia management. Responders learn to navigate unstable ice conditions, work in extreme temperatures, and execute rapid, effective rescues.

Rescue Technician - Basic provides foundational training in technical rescue operations. Participants develop essential skills in rope systems, confined space awareness, vehicle extrication, structural collapse scenarios, and patient packaging, preparing them to support a wide range of rescue incidents safely and effectively.

Rope Rescue Technician training prepares responders to perform high-angle and low-angle rescues using advanced rope systems. Training covers rope rigging, mechanical advantage systems, belay techniques, rappelling, ascending, patient packaging, and high-point anchor systems.

Firefighter Assist & Search Team (FAST) trains firefighters to rapidly locate and remove downed or trapped firefighters during emergency operations. The course focuses on advanced search techniques, team coordination, air management, and Mayday response.

Rapid Interview Crew (RIC) training prepares firefighters to conduct rapid intervention operations for rescuing downed or trapped firefighters. This course covers firefighter survival techniques, self-rescue, air management, thermal imaging, forcible entry, search and extrication strategies, and Mayday procedures.
