Structural Search and Rescue

The Number #1 priority of the fire service is life safety.  Sometimes, at extreme risk to the firefighter, that means getting inside a structure and executing an interior search to look for, and rescue victims.  Firefighters are exposing themselves to a great degree of risk and must be proficient in this interior operation.  Methodology and victim removal must be selected and executed like second nature.  And knowing the reality of the inherent risk of firefighting; sometimes that search and rescue is to save one of our own.  In order to be a good rescuer; firefighters must understand survival techniques for interior operations, atmospheric conditions, MAYDAY, and RIT.  You will be asked to apply this knowledge in the most adverse conditions, throughout your entire career.
