Based on the individual job performance requirements from NFPA 1407. Course content will enable firefighters to recognize fire ground conditions that contribute to firefighter disorientation and/or entrapment, to have knowledge of what is necessary to ensure their safety and that of their partners or crew members. Students will learn when to call a MAY DAY and perform self-rescue techniques when disoriented, separated, or when needing to exit a structure in an emergency. This course requires students to perform a number of practical evolutions with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and includes both horizontal and vertical self-rescue.
