Rescue from vehicles in water
Rescue from vehicles in water
This specialist two day course for SRT 1 Technicians explores the skills required to deal with rescues from vehicles in water. Using a purpose-designed in-water training vehicle we will look at vehicle behavior and stabilization in water as well as access techniques and casualty extrication.
Rescues from vehicles in water are a growing hazard faced by Fire & Rescue services. While generic swiftwater rescue technician skills and techniques can be utilized for these rescues, current training does not provide realistic and specific exposure to these incidents. Class topics include:
- Theory input on in-water vehicle behavior and hazard assessment
- Hands on practical exercises using in-water training vehicle
- Night time vehicle rescue exercise may also be included if conditions are suitable
