What is the quickest, most efficient and safest method to access, treat and remove patients at a high-rise construction site? This class, based on years of experience to real-life responses by the Clark County, NV, Fire Department Technical Rescue Team, aims to provide attendees with the answers to these and other important questions related to the topic of crane rescue operations. Attendees will receive a plan that begins at apparatus arrival and concludes with the patient transport. Under the guidance of the instructors, attendees will properly rig a Stokes basket, fly on a crane, package and remove a patient.

The course will focus on controlling the flow path in a smart, safe and aggressive manner. Students will learn to control, isolate and understand live-fire behavior with specific focus on fire control, fire behavior and Vent Enter Search. Live-fire behavior experts from both Los Angeles County and Cobb County, GA, fire departments will work together to provide the students with a peak skillset for the modern fireground. This course will have three live-fire rotating stations and will be physically demanding.
