Firefighter Survival

Based on Chief John Salka’s “Get Out Alive” program, this course is designed for self-rescue.  Course content will enable firefighters to recognize the types of events encountered on the fire ground that contribute to firefighters disorientation and/or entrapment, to have knowledge of what is necessary to ensure their safety and that of their partners or crew members, and perform self-rescue techniques when disoriented, separated, or when needing to exit a structure in a emergency.  This course requires students to perform a number of practical evolutions with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
