Advanced Vehicle Extrication Part
1 |
This advanced course is designed to give
the student scenario based training with more difficult extrication
challenges. Each learning station involves the actual entrapment of a
simulated patient. Removal on a backboard is required for successful
completion. To maximize the experience, all equipment the fire company has
pertinent to auto extrication is utilized. Teamwork and incident command
are emphasized in order to improve the process of extrication in the real
world. |

"Putting it altogether" Taking the
Advanced Rescue Part I to the next level, this program combines realistic
practical evolutions and Rescue Scene Management. A short classroom
session reviews Rescue Scene Management and Incident Command at a rescue
scene. The practical session follows where teams are placed in scenarios
utilizing dispatch and radio communications and face multiple
vehicle/multiple patient crash incidents. The students are tested on their
management skills as well as their rescue techniques. Integrating and
working with EMS is an essential part of the program. By testing
management, EMS and rescue all at the same time, the class creates a
real-life learning environment, many times taxing the limits of the teams.
Pre-requisites: Advanced Vehicle Part I. |
