| 8:00 AM | Michael Taylor, Captain, West Sacramento FD, CA Tasks that need to be done on the fireground do not change in any district. But staffing does change. And with the current budget crisis, we're faced doing more with less. Structure fires don't care about staffing. But firefighters do care about mitigating those fires. This course provides some advanced techniques for engine and truck work. Covering tricks with stretching line, flowing water, throwing ladders, forcing entry, and search to accomplish success.

| 8:00 AM | Ron Moore, Battalion Chief / Training Officer, McKinney, TX FD OBJECTIVE: Participants receive training in victim rescue techniques and procedures in conformance with NFPA #1006 and NFPA #1670, Chapter 8, Technician-level competencies. Participants enrolled in this special University of Extrication program spend a full day studying real-world incidents and "responding" to realistic extrication scenarios with simulated patients trapped. Vendors provide a wide variety of rescue and extrication equipment that can be used to solve each scenario challenge and free the "patients" from the entrapment. Car-on-car, under-ride, large vehicle rollovers, and more await participants of this NFPA Technician-level challenge course. All training hours of this program are field-level, hands-on experience working scenario-based vehicle rescue incidents. Personal cameras are permitted.
Required: Full Turnout gear (NFPA P.P.E.), NFPA Eye & Hearing Protection |
| 8:00 AM | Todd Fetters, Captain, Hemet, CA FD, Tony Mecham, BC, Cal-Fire/Riverside Cty, CA Students will perform the basics of fire attack, primary searches, victim rescue, ventilation and RIC evolutions under live-fire conditions. In today's fire service there are less fires and unfortunately less training opportunities under realistic conditions. Students will perform multiple bread-and-butter evolutions critical for success on the fireground. Proper hose handling, use of thermal imaging cameras and putting the "rapid" back in RIC are just a few of the training lessons that will be reinforced. Instructors are CSFM Fire Control 3 certified and have been active instructors in live fire since Firehouse World began in San Diego.
