delivery based on sound leadership. Together we can hash out what makes firefighters excellent at nozzlemanship and engine company officers sharp and decisive on the fireground. This new class will combine both classroom lecture and hands-on training with the lines outside.

This course is a Firefighter Rescue Course not a RIT class, often firefighters that experience a MAYDAY are rescued by someone other than a Rapid Intervention Team. We will take a dive into the data that “Project Mayday” has compiled supporting this. It is highly likely that a firefighter working on the interior will start, and hopefully complete, the rescue of a downed firefighter. We will go over a systematic approach to some conventional (and not-so-conventional) techniques to increase the chances of a quick and successful rescue. These will include techniques for: - How to do a rapid assessment - Various drags and carries - Movements up and down stairs, and much more These techniques will set up the transition of rescue by an interior crew member to the interception point where a Hasty Rescue Device (HRD) like the FAST Board comes into play. Once the firefighter has been rescued, we will FINISH the drill by transitioning to FF CPR .
