Each year, more than 2,000 civilians are killed in structure fires. When we make life safety our number-one priority, all of our actions should be about getting inside and finding the civilians. We give them the best chance for survival when we complete an aggressive primary search within the first 10 minutes of fireground operations. This fast-paced class concentrates on the fundamentals and focuses on First-Due Engine-Based Search, Oriented Search, and Vent-Enter-Search techniques. The students learn ways to maximize their efficiency, get real time reps, and use simple drags for victim removal. Students gain confidence in their search and victim-removal skills.
