The aim of this course is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance the capabilities of firefighters in conducting efficient rescue operations. By completing this course, participants will gain the expertise needed to improve the effectiveness of rescue operations performed by firefighters.

Course Objectives:

Apply the latest technology in fire-fighter rescue missions
Determine the concept of fire behaviour including the sources of heat, oxygen and its effect on combustion, flammable and explosive limits, modes of heat transfer, unique fire events and classes of fire.
Discuss the overview of the process industry particularly the principles of exploration, production and enhanced oil recovery.
Identify the physical properties of hydrocarbons as well as its vapor density and pressure, specific gravity and characteristics.
Analyze the characteristics of hydrocarbon releases, fires and explosions and explain the concept of Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions.
Apply rescue procedures such as search burning structures victim removal, drags and carries and extrication from motor vehicles and get acquainted with the specialized rescue situations and tools.
Identify the principles of forcible entry including the tools and requirements used in the forcible entry and improve maintenance of forcible entry tools.
Review and improve rescue operations such as rescuer climb, equipment lifting and positioning, causality positioning on a stretcher and descending and ascending.
Perform the primary and secondary causality rescue survey techniques and practice the paramedic serves of causality in hazardous high situation, safe positioning and descending.
Use handling techniques of robes as well descending and ascending machines and practice confined space vertical and horizontal causality extrication as at/from standard high levels.
Implement unison techniques in utilizing crane boom basket manual joined rescuer and causality rope descending.
Improve confined space team search and rescue techniques as well as structural internal rescue missions
