COURSE DESCRIPTION STILL TO COME

2303: FORCIBLE ENTRY-Foundations & Advances – (2 Days) – Facilitated by Dynamic Rescue

Foundations: There are few tasks on the fireground that directly affects the time it takes to get water on the fire than forcible entry. This class starts with the basic foundational skills required for successful forcible entry techniques for residential and light commercial occupancies. This class will cover tool orientation, door & frame construction, door size up, 1 & 2 person inward and outward conventional forcible entry, restricted access forcible entry, padlocks, chains, and gate hinges. Advanced: This class is the final progression of the forcible entry class series and contains the most advanced techniques. This class expands on the basic skill sets learned in Forcible Entry Foundations. During the class students will learn how to adapt their existing skills to perform forcible entry in low visibility, non-destructive techniques for gaining access into locked spaces, and finally saw work and the skills required for commercial building applications. This class will cover tool orientation, size up, low visibility forcible entry, through-the-lock and non-destructive techniques, saw orientation, drop bar and carriage bolt removal, cutting pad and puck locks, garage door cut/removal and security window bar removal.

2304: MODERN TACTICS FOR TODAYS FIRE ENVIRONMENT (1 Day) – Facilitated by Brandon Moberg


2305: SWIFTWATER RESCUE OPERATION – Shore Based Operations (1 Day) -– Facilitated by Dynamic Rescue

2306/2403: COLLAPSE RESCUE FOR 1ST DUE (1 Day) -– Facilitated by Canada Task Force 1-HUSAR

Collapse Rescue for 1st due is an introduction to structural collapse rescue. It is intended to give the first due responders an idea of the hazards of structural collapse and dangers to watch for. This one day HOT class will teach responders basic shoring, hazard identification, shoring placement, breaching and breaking and rescue techniques. Upon completion, students will be able to recognize a structural collapse, build basic shoring to make an area safe and extricate minimally trapped victims. This course will be taught by Canada Task Force 1 structural collapse instructors with years of collapse experience.

Students will require a minimum of long sleeves, helmet, eye and ear protection.

2308: AERIAL STRATEGIES AND TACTICS (1 Day) -– Facilitated by JIBC

Through classroom instruction, demonstrations and hands-on training, this exciting new course is designed to equip officers and operators with tactical and strategic knowledge relating to the use of aerial apparatus. The when, why, where and how will be explored through the following list of topics:Positioning; Safety considerations; Communications; Water supply priorities; Strategies and tactics; Rescue operations and Elevated master stream operations. An inter-active mix of classroom discussion, video, tabletop challenge scenarios, along with practical water supply, elevated master stream & rescue exercises will ensure that participants leave with ?tactical tools in their tool box? for use at major incidents. This course is a must have for officers and operators of aerial apparatus. (Formerly EVO160)

2604: SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO LARGER MORE COMPLEX INCIDENTS (1 Day) -– Facilitated by Fireworks Consultings

The role of the IC in a more modern approach to emergency incident management for larger and more complex situations – a systematic approach to incidents involving larger commercial structures, multi-family multi-storey residential occupancies, and high-rise operations.

The need to focus on effectively analyzing the incident and developing a comprehensive incident action plan that will not only mitigate the incident as effectively as possible, keeping our firefighters safe, but also address the legal liabilities, the need for mutual aid and joint training, along with the requirements of the Playbook and applicable NFPA standards.

Every incident has a leader, and that role can be fulfilled initially by the company officer, or by the incident. When the incident is the leader it acts and we react; when the fire officer (IC) leads utilizing a comprehensive command system, decisions are made based on training, knowledge, experience, and anticipation/prediction which enable the IC to get “in front of the incident,” thereby gaining better control of the situation.

Too often we see fire companies roll up to the front of the fire involved structure, race to the front door to make entry and initiate offensive operations. The initial reaction is to “put the wet stuff of the red stuff”; which may work occasionally with the simple single-family residential fire situation, but will not be effective with the larger more complex incidents as we end up overlooking many of the key elements of the decision-making process.

This presentation will involve a detailed discussion of a systematic process, from arrival to mitigation; size-up considerations, risk/benefit analysis and risk management, resource analysis, strategic and tactical decisions, deployment considerations, along with communication and accountability processes emphasizing the need for mutual aid and joint training.

2607/2617: FIRE GROUND SURVIVAL PROGRAM (1 Day) – Facilitated by Kris Anderson

HANDS ON SESSION OVERVIEW

The IAFF Fire Ground Survival program ensures that training for Mayday prevention and Mayday operations are consistent among all fire fighters, company officers and chief officers. Fire fighters must be trained to perform potentially life-saving actions if they become lost, disoriented, injured, low on air or trapped. These training exercises must be consistent throughout the fire service. Fire Ground Survival


instructors will provide an overview of the 32-hour certification course and allow attendees to participate in several of the practical training evolutions. The activities participants will perform while involved in the Fire Ground Survival Practical Workshop require mental judgment, physical ability and dexterity. The IAFF will not provide medical or health insurance coverage to anyone during any aspect of this workshop. All participants MUST sign a waiver prior to participation in this workshop. Our comprehensive Fire Ground Survival training program applies the lessons learned from fire fighter fatality investigations conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and has been developed by a committee of subject matter experts from the IAFF, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and NIOSH. Registrants are required to bring their own personal protective equipment (turnout coat and pants, hood, gloves, boots and helmet and SCBA if possible) please contact the BCFTOA organizing committee if you are able to supply your own SCBA.

CLASSROOM SESSION : IAFF FIRE GROUND SURVIVAL PROGRAM

There is no other call more challenging to fire ground operations than a Mayday. This session will provide an in-depth overview of the current IAFF Fire Ground survival Program and curriculum tie in with data derived from Project Mayday. The IAFF Fire Ground Survival Program has just completed a curriculum update utilizing the noted project mayday data and current NIOSH reports, these updates will be investigated during this session. The importance of proper fire ground survival training, adherence to NFPA 1710 and NFPA 1407 will be reinforced. The cumulative act effect and its relation to the NIOSH 5 will also be highlighted.
