This course is designed to provide up-to-date fireline safety information to employees holding Incident Command System (ICS) qualifications requiring this training per the NIMS: Wildland Fire Qualification System Guide, PMS 310-1. 

There are four core components to the Annual Refresher Training:

• Entrapment Avoidance – Use training and reference materials to study the risk management process as identified in the Incident Response Pocket Guide (IRPG) as appropriate to participants, e.g., LCES, Standard Firefighting Orders, Watch Out Situations, Wildfire Decision Support System direction, Fire Management Plan priorities.
• Current Issues – Review and discuss current topics that could be based on the new modules orareas of concern identified by your agency or geographic area. Review forecasts and assessments for the upcoming fire season and discuss implications for firefighter safety.
• Fire Shelter – Review and discuss last resort survival including escape and shelter deployment site selection. Conduct “hands-on” fire shelter inspections. Practice shelter deployments in applicable crew/module configurations. Wearing fireline personal protective equipment during fire shelter practice can enhance the learning experience for students.
• Other Hazards and Safety Issues – Choose additional hazard and safety subjects, which may include SAFENET, current safety alerts, site/unit specific safety issues and hazards.

• 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.

• 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.

This course 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 firefighters how to save their own lives and the life of another firefighter.  The FF 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.  

Special Instructions: Students must be able to obtain a proper seal with the SCBA facepiece. It is recommended by UFRA that all students be clean shaven before attending this class.  Students must be in good physical condition and capable of working in a high stress survival training environment. 

Prerequisite: It is recommended that students be at least FFI and/or currently involved in an on‐going fire training program.  

Safety PPE req's: Each student needs to bring their own PPE. Full firefighter PPE (turnout pants and coat, NFPA structural firefighting boots, gloves, Nomex hood) including SCBA and firefighting helmet. Protective clothing and equipment must be in good condition.  

NOTE: UFRA cannot provide PPE for this class.  If the student does not have the proper PPE then the student will not be allowed to participate in the skills or hands‐on portion.
