Live Fire: RIT Under Fire (05T)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Join the experienced instructors at the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) who will deliver an intense course on the necessary skills to effectively operate as a member of a rapid intervention team (RIT). Maximizing every bit of time, students will participate in a classroom-style lecture and discussion during the bus ride to the facility. Once on site, students will complete multiple live fire skill development rotations including challenging ladder rescues with and without SCBA, lifts to the window, cribbing, debris cuts, approaches to the down member, and numerous drags and carries. Students will finish with best practices decon then participate in training critiques and debriefing during the bus ride back.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The experienced cadre of IFSI RIT Instructors delivering the HOT class will be supported by the entire IFSI Team, providing a high quality and engaging training experience for students. IFSI uses a dedicated logistics team to support the RIT UNDER FIRE training delivery. This ensures students can maximize the time on the training campus.
TRAINING SCHEDULE: The RIT UNDER FIRE class will be delivered in Champaign, IFSI campus. Students will receive lecture-style instruction during transport from Indianapolis to Champaign. While at IFSI, students will engage in hands-on, live fire training under the direction of an experienced RIT instructor team.
