This class is all about you.  "Rapid intervention" is a great concept, but we also need to

be able to look out for ourselves.  This course addresses actions the firefighter can take

before, during, and after the MAYDAY to get themselves out of a bad situation - or

ideally, to prevent themselves from getting into one.  Some of the things we'll cover

include:

•  Recognizing the warning signs of various situations and associated preventative

measures.

•  Utilize features of your SCBA and additional air-management techniques in an

"out of air" emergency.

•  Evacuate untenable conditions using various techniques.

•  Take emergency shelter measures.

•  Transmit a MAYDAY and recognize when to call one.

•  Function as a team member in difficult situations.

We'll share tips and lessons learned from experienced instructors and challenge your

ability to "get out alive".  Practice your skills and gain confidence in your ability to

survive....
