Fire departments and rescue teams commonly respond to incidents involving collapsed structures, confined spaces, water, auto, and industrial entrapments. These incidents can be grouped into a category called "technical rescue incidents," which require personnel with specialized skills and equipment. The need for a technical rescue can result from, among other things, industrial and transportation accidents, extreme sports, and even Mother Nature (e.g., floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes that trap and injure people). This course will introduce rescue personnel to the basic skills needed to perform at technical rescue incidents and will address Chapter 5 of NFPA 1006, Standard for Rescue Technician professional qualifications (2003 edition). The job performance requirements defined in this chapter must be met prior to certification as a rescue technician for any discipline. Students will be exposed to lectures, demonstrations, and practical skill exercises designed to teach rescue site operations, victim management, maintenance of equipment, and ropes and riggings.
