The Firefighters Support Foundation’s (FSF) newest training program is now available.
“Our Downed Firefighter Assessment & Rescue program address the basics of assessing a downed firefighter, as well as the best ways to package and move them using simple webbing,” says FSF President David Kenik. The program consists of a 30-minute video presentation and an accompanying PowerPoint presentation.
Covered topics include the use of acronyms and mnemonic devices for accomplishing these tasks, communications during a rescue, and one- and two-firefighter packaging and transport techniques with simple webbing. The program is ideal as an introduction to the topic or as an in-service review. The presenter is Engineer Abraham Madrigal of the Hillsboro (OR) fire department.
The program is free to all members of public safety and emergency management agencies. Simply watch in the viewer above, or download the PowerPoint HERE (540 KB) and the video HERE.
