By the end of the program, participants should have an understanding of how to enrich their teaching for better understanding and retention. They should also be able to recognize the needs of the different student types within the class. These understandings and abilities should be transferable to both the formal and informal learning environment. |

Training subjects including utility emergencies, size-up, mask confidence, building construction, ventilation, overhaul, RIT drills, and other training topics will be presented. Also being discussed will be producing the proper paperwork, as well as reviewing the NFPA 1403 standard as a tool to assist in safely preparing the structure. This course will present training scenarios, from small scale to more complex, going from no damage to the building and working up to the type of drills that will cause the most damage to the building. |
