It’s a Hazmat scene. What next? – Jay Meeks – LECTURE (Class size: 20)
So your first on scene of a hazmat incident. Let’s talk about what needs to happen. What can you do with your equipment and level training.
Pump Ops: Rural Tactics – Daniel Keretz – HOT (Class size: 20)
Firefighter Rescue: What to do when it’s us – Bob Hunthrop / MEMS – HOT
(Class size: 15)
To provide procedures and techniques to Firefighters so they effectively provide
immediate Basic Life Support (BLS) to their fellow Firefighters having a medical or cardiac event while wearing the structural firefighting PPE. This training will provide techniques for the Rapid Removal of an Unresponsive Firefighter from Turnout Gear and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus based on NIOSH Publication 2024-104. The class will cover Mayday processes, Latest updates on the best practices of High-Performance BLS CPR created by Dr. Brandon Morshedi Assistant Medical Director of MEMS, and Hands-On scenarios to encompass – Mayday recognition/processes, Firefighter removal from IDLH environment, Assessment of a down Firefighter in PPE, Structural Firefighter PPE removal with CPR in progress, AED and LUCUS device placement without stopping CPR.
Auto X Basic– Adam Cordell – HOT (Class size: 20)
Lunch 12pm-1pm – Service Restoration
1pm-5pm
Auto X Advanced– Adam Cordell – HOT (Class size: 20)
Pump Ops / Tanker Taskforce – Daniel Keretz / PC TTF – HOT (Class size: 20)
Not the Ordinary Rescue – Bob Hunthrop / MEMS – HOT (Class size: 15)
To provide procedures, techniques, and enhance problem solving skills for Firefighters with Non-Technical Rescue training so they may effectively provide immediate stabilization and extrication of basic patient entrapment/impalement with usual Engine or Truck company tools in the event EMS determines immediate removal is necessary or a Technical Rescue team is delayed or unavailable. Emphasis will be placed on alerting a Rescue Team response in case it becomes a technical rescue. As impaled objects must be stabilized in place for removal at a hospital, it is often problematic to determine the best course of action on how to cut or shorten the object for EMS transport. Discussion of tools carried by Engine and Truck companies followed by removal of rings made of different metals, extrication of hand entrapment within household appliances, patient removal from impalement on fences, and falls on objects causing impalement. Demonstrations and Hands-On scenarios of removing rings, stabilizing and securing impaled patients for cutting an impaling object, cutting impaling objects in various positions with the goal of minimal movement applied to the patient and packaging the patient for transport.

8 hr course- It Aint Easy: What Do I Do With The Nozzle – Bo Vest & Stephen Adams – HOT (Class size: 25 each day; Turnouts Required)
This comprehensive class is designed to equip firefighters of all ranks and experience levels with the essential knowledge to understand fire behavior and effectively combat structure fires. We will look at how, when, and why to apply water focusing on what to do with the nozzle. Our goal is to get firefighters from the front door to the seat of the fire while keeping in mind the benefits of cooling the environment for US (firefighters) and THEM (victims). This course will cover smokdde reading, water mapping, and fire dynamics, leaving you with practical skills that can be utilized on your next fire. Turnouts required

Truck company tasks make up a MAJORITY of assigned fireground responsibilities. Search, victim rescue, ventilation, overhaul, RIT, and so many more falls under the “truck” umbrella. The population of your district or your run volume is not an excuse to lack proficiency in these ever-important tasks, and the data/science behind when, how, and why to employ them! Two days, 16 hours, ALL TRUCK NO HOSE. Skills, drills, micro lectures, and heart pounding scenarios to build your confidence on the fireground!
