Students will learn to remain oriented and familiar with their environment while gaining awareness of their own physical/mental limitations and the limitations of their SCBA. They will work in simulated hazardous atmospheres and will be required to utilize SCBA orientation to navigate various obstacles/hazards. This course meets the standards set forth in NFPA 1001 and 1404. The curriculum is partially adapted with permission from the Pennsylvania Fire Academy and Fire Engineering magazine.
NOTICE-This course is not intended to provide basic instruction on the use of SCBA but, instead, focuses students on gaining practical experience with the SCBA provided by their agency. A large portion of the skills activities within this course are physically and mentally challenging and should only be attempted by students in good physical condition. It is recommended that students have a minimum of Firefighter I training or be considered functionally competent in the use of SCBA by their organization.
Students must bring their own turnout gear and SCBA. All SCBA cylinders must be within their appropriate hydrostatic test date.
There is no cost to attend this course.
