Residential Primary Search: Making the Grab (15TP)

While the number of structure fires are decreasing, civilian fire deaths are increasing.  As a fire service we must get better at performing and supporting the search on a fire ground. We give THEM the best chance for survival when an aggressive primary search is completed within the first 10 minutes of fire ground operations. This fast-past class concentrates on the fundamentals of searching, good communications and having a plan.  The students will be taught ways to maximize their efficiency, have a chance to perform each type of search, learn simple drags for victim removal and then get real time reps to put it all together. Upon completion of this class the students will be more confident in their search and victim removal skills.  This will be taught through 4 teaching rotations.  At the end of each rotation students will have a micro-scenario that will reinforce points/skills from the teaching session.
