FIR620 — Basic Rescue Practices
This course is designed to allow persons who have successfully completed Essentials of Fire Fighting (or demonstrated their compentency by certifying as a Fire Fighter I or II) to acquire the additional knowledge and skills required to certify as a Basic Rescue Technician under the Department of Health Rescue Program. This course provides training in the additional competencies, particularly in the areas of rope, technical rescue, and problem solving needed to bridge the gap between these two courses. This allows Essentials graduates and certified fire fighters to become Basic Rescue Technicians without repeating training that they have already had.
