Join us for an in-depth session on firefighter rehabilitation—a vital component of emergency response that supports the safety and well-being of our firefighting teams. In this training, you will learn how to recognize signs of physiological distress in firefighters (such as dehydration, heat stress, fatigue, and overexertion) and discover the essential steps to set up and operate a rehabilitation (rehab) area at an incident scene.
The course is designed for CERT members and follows the guidelines set forth in NFPA 1584. We will cover:
- **Understanding the Need for Rehab:** Learn why firefighter rehabilitation is crucial for maintaining safety during extended or extreme operations.
- **Identifying Physiological Threats:** Get familiar with the stressors and physical challenges faced by firefighters in high-risk environments.
- **Establishing the Rehab Area:** Gain practical knowledge on how to quickly and safely set up a dedicated space for rehydration, rest, nourishment, and medical evaluation.
- **Operating within NFPA Guidelines:** Explore the two key NFPA 1584 guidelines to ensure crew members get the rest and medical attention needed after intense work sessions.
This engaging, module-based training session will empower you to assist firefighters effectively during emergencies—ensuring their performance, safeguarding their health, and ultimately enhancing overall operational safety. Whether you’re new to CERT operations or looking to refresh your knowledge, this course offers the insights and hands-on techniques necessary for real-world application.
