Firefighter Safety/Survival/Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT)
|
- Date/Time:
- Friday, March 18, 0800-1700
- Saturday, March 19, 0800-1700
- Class Limit: 24 students
- Description:
- This program 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 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.
- 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
- Safety PPE requirements: 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

Student and scene safety will be a paramount concern and students will be required
to be in proper PPE at all times. The possibility of inclement weather is always possible,
so every student should be prepared with suitable warm clothing as needed.
