NFPA 1001 Rescue and Extrication
Search and rescue in a structure is critical. The majority of structure fires are put out before significant damage is done, but when the structure burns while people are trapped inside, the firefighter must ensure that all areas are searched, and all victims are located and removed. Searches must be conducted quickly and safely. Team integrity must be maintained, as well. Victims, and sometimes fellow firefighters, may have to be physically carried or dragged from the structure, often under adverse conditions. There is a wide array of tools and equipment available to facilitate search and rescue, but ultimately it is the fire fighter’s training, situational awareness, experience, and skill mastery, that get the job done. This course describes the best methods for conducting safe, effective, and efficient searches; use of the PASS system; and ways to identify and use key rescue and extrication tools and equipment.
