Tracks: Hands On Training (H.O.T.)

The fire problem in the United States continues to impact our communities. There are a number of factors that contribute to civilian occupant injury & death that we must aim to reduce. Vent, Enter, Search is a proven tactic that saves lives on all firegrounds from the rural setting to the densely populated urban areas in the US. In this program, we aim to break down the multiple skillsets needed to preform VES effectively; ground ladder work, masking up, search, moving trapped occupants, and victim removal. These skills will then be put to the test during the second portion of class, where we run through multiple scenarios.
