This is a program which teaches self-rescue and the rescue of lost and/or trapped firefighters.  This intensive training was developed in response to the tragic deaths of many firefighters in the nation, including Utah.  Many of those who perished did so because they could not get themselves out of various working conditions.  Unfortunately on several occasions, as a fire community, we have also been unsuccessful in removing our fellow firefighters from difficult RIT situations.  We train our firefighters in confined space, hazardous materials, infectious disease control, and incident command; but we have left out the most important topic.... personal safety. This course teaches all firefighters how to save their own lives and the life of another firefighter.  The Firefighter Survival course covers conditions and situations which may pose a risk to firefighters, and offers solutions both in the classroom and on the drill ground.  These could be some of the most important days of your life. Don’t miss this class.

Requirements:  Full firefighter PPE (turn out pants, coat, NFPA structural firefighting boots, gloves, nomex hood) including SCBA and firefighting helmet.

Special Instructions:  Students must be able to obtain a proper seal with the SCBA face piece. It is recommended by UFRA that all male students be clean shaven before attending this class.

This class is spit into two four hour blocks.

• Dates:

  • Saturday, March 20, 0800-1200
• Class Limit:  12 participants
• Prerequisites:  None
• Audience: This course is for volunteer firefighters who might be placed in an incident command assignment at a working structure fire.

Incident command at structure fires has its own challenges in the volunteer world. Personnel, apparatus, and water supply are typically limited resources when compared to urban areas. This new, one-day course will focus on real world incident command at structure fires applied to the limited resources frequently found in today’s volunteer fire service. Participants will have the chance to learn and practice proven incident command strategies that can help them successfully run incident command at structure fires in their own area with their own resources. The class also has one-minute drills and real, hands-on evolutions performed outside that are part of the class that will test the student's abilities along with command.

• Dates:  
  • Friday, March 19, 0800 - 1200

• Simulation Training is rapidly becoming the benchmark in advanced technology training. The Utah Fire & Rescue Academy “Emergency Apparatus Driving Simulator (EADS)” program creates driving experiences that allow participants to perfect their skills by employing a variety of challenging scenarios and emergency situations. During this 4 hour “Introduction,” Instructors will guide students through a wide range of skills, from basic vehicle operations to more advanced scenario based driver training. Participants will encounter realistic driving situations, including changing weather, day & night driving, various road conditions, emergency procedures and traffic conflicts. Driver Training should be considered a vital part of any departments training program. EADS is designed to provide enhanced emergency apparatus driver training to meet these needs.
