This Saving Your Own workshop will provide a basic knowledge
for firefighters to know when and how to identify dangerous situations. From the minute we
walk into the engine house to the time we pack up our equipment after an incident, we must
know the hazards and be able to practice good habits to prevent complacency and making
poor decisions. We will discuss very simple concepts and decision making skills along with fire
ground awareness, that actually starts at the fire house prior to the event happening.
Firefighters will be able to identify and have a basic knowledge of rapid intervention
techniques and methods in accordance with NFPA 1407, Standard for Fire Service Rapid
Intervention Crews, to prepare them for practical training in the same discipline. Ultimately,
this workshop will provide ways for firefighters to prepare and operate as safe as possible in
order to prevent the need for may days and rapid intervention crews. We must be battle ready
every second and this workshop will assist in keeping the firefighter in a constant state of
readiness. (DFS CEUs 4-Instructor) (EMS CEUs-Non Core Elective-4)
