page burn

This weekend we conducted a 16-hour “Introduction to RIT” program with the Susquehanna Hose Company in Havre de Grace, MD.  This was our 5th program with this department and it was good to be back.

This class focused on various skills to accomplish the three primary goals of a Rapid Intervention Team:

  1. Locate the firefighter.
  2. Keep the firefighter on air!
  3. Remove the firefighter.

One of the essential skills was packaging the downed firefighter and techniques to drag the firefighter or move him on a flight of stairs.  Check out the video below for some quick tips on these skills:

This class was instructed by Lt. Doug Mitchell (FDNY), FF Nick Martin (DCFD), Capt. Scott Kraut (FFxFD), and Capt. Dan Shaw (FFxFD).  The staff was greatly impressed with the attitiude and performance of the students over the weekend and we look forward to our next trip to Havre de Grace!
