Rope rescues take a high skill level
to perform professionally and can carry a high risk for injury or
death, especially by untrained or poorly trained rescuers.
The
Rescue Tech / Rescue3 three day rope course will get you the best
training your team will need. We update this course on a regular basis
to stay current with the best, safest techniques and equipment out there
today.
This course meets or exceeds all the guidelines set forth by
the National Fire Protection Agency [NFPA 1670] and will more than
satisfy the requirements of FEMA, USAR, and NIMS typing.
