Continuing Education (CE) Courses - Flammable Gas Emergency Response 101
|
Class Vendor: This class is available for contracted delivery from Local Emergency Training Specialist (LETS). Contracted Price: $2800.
This course is about how to safely respond to propane emergencies. Propane is a flammable gas, which is sometimes generically referred to as LP-Gas, LPG or liquefied petroleum gas. These terms are often used interchangeably and while it is true they have similar fire hazards; propane is only one of several constituent gases which make up liquefied petroleum gas. For example, commercial grade LPG manufactured at a refinery is primarily made up of propane-butane mixtures, but might also contain small percentages of ethane, ethylene, propylene, isobutene, or butylene, all of which can cause slight variation in LPG's properties (e.g. flammable range, vapor pressure, etc.). So while it is true all LPG is primarily a mixture of flammable gasses, which includes propane, the majority of the LP-gas used in our homes and in the workplace primarily consists of propane or some combination of propane and butane mixtures.
Course Objectives: Introduction, Scope and Purpose, Physical Properties and Characteristics of Propane, Bulk Transportation Design and Construction Features, Tactical Response Guidelines for Propane, Emergencies: Product Removal, Transfer Operations
Student Pre-requisites: Must have successfully completed on of the following courses: Basic Fire Fighter Skills, Introduction to the Fire Service or Firefighter I certification. Equivalent programs will be considered with documentation of completion.

Continuing Education (CE) Courses - Forcible Entry
|
This class is available for contracted delivery from MUFRTI. Contracted Price: $9500.
This 8 hour course covers basic and advanced aspects of forcible entry including: size-up, tools, techniques, safety considerations, and forcible entry myths. Veteran firefighters as well as brand new recruits enjoy this course due to it being informative, fun, and applicable. The techniques discussed and practiced can be used immediately with little or no additional equipment required. This course can be made to fit your departments needs.
Course Objectives: Conventional Forcible Entry – at this station, participants each have the opportunity to force several inward and outward swinging doors under the supervision and guidance of an instructor. Very minor adjustments in tool placement and handling can make conventional forcible entry effective vs. ineffective or at least quicker and safer. Instructors will provide members with tips and encouragement while maintaining the safety of participants and reinforcing theory and good habits.
Hinge Side of the Door & Padlocks – at this station, students will each have the opportunity to pull a set of hinges from a door using our custom designed training aids. Forcing any door from the hinge side is low on the hierarchy of forcible entry techniques, which makes it more important to practice and understand the consequences and considerations associated with this technique. Padlocks are one of the most common locks firefighters are tasked with forcing. The hundreds of types and styles of padlocks on the market require members to have a firm understanding of lock construction and the tools and techniques used to defeat them. Participants will force padlocks or simulated padlocks with the irons and duckbill lock breaker at this station.
Power Saw Operations – The power saw is one of the most dangerous tools a firefighter can be assigned to operate. The nature of fireground operations often causes firefighters to be forced to use this tool in poorly lit conditions, on wet ground, in awkward positions, or on ladders. Practice and familiarity with this tool are essential for safe operation. This rotation focuses on tool preparation, use, and maintenance. Students will gain experience using the saw in various positions and orientations while under the close supervision of an instructor to provide tips and ensure safe operation.
Through the Lock (TTL) – Through the lock forcible entry is one of the most overlooked and under-utilized forcible entry techniques. This technique is often thought to be too slow or too complex for many fireground applications. That is simply not true. At this station participants will receive background information about TTL tools and procedures while being guided through manipulation of various locks.

Continuing Education (CE) Courses - Small Machinery Extrication Basic
|
This class is available for contracted delivery from MUFRTI. Contracted Price: $8500.
This 8-hour interactive course gives students a look into machinery entrapments and extrications. The first hour and a half is spent in the classroom reviewing case histories, lock-out/tag-out techniques and procedures, tool kits, and medical considerations. Following the classroom presentation, students are broken up into groups to participate in hands on scenarios.
Course Objectives: Rotation #1: Lock-out/Tag-out, Size-up & Meat Grinder Entrapment: Lock-out/Tag-Out: One of the most important steps in machinery extrication is to ensure the machine will not operate while we are working on it. Students practiced locking and tagging out various types of valves, switches, cords, hoses, and controllers. Size-up: Size-up is one of the most important aspects of any firefighting operation and is especially important when dealing with machinery entrapments. Students used a search camera to look inside this simulated machine to determine the associated hazards. Inside they found electrical and chemical hazards that were evaluated using facility information and the HAZ-MAT emergency response guidebook. Meat Grinder Entrapment: Supermarkets, delis, and butcher shops are all prime locations for a possible machinery entrapment. Grinders, saws, and conveyors are just a few of the common items found in these facilities. At this station students practice locking and tagging out the equipment before moving on to assessing the entrapment and beginning the extrication. To disassemble the meat grinder, members had to drill or air chisel and punch several rivets, cut with the angle grinder, and use various Allen wrenches, screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets, and prying tools.
Rotation #2: Tool Familiarization & Finger Entrapments: Tool Familiarization: Previous generations of firefighters brought a tremendous amount of trade experience and mechanical ability to the firehouse. Modern fire- fighting recruits seldom possess the mechanical skills as those before. This rotation allows students that are un- familiar with hand, electric, and pneumatic tools to gain these skills and gives experienced students a refresher. This rotation included: cutting with the wizzer saw, drilling and punching rivets, sheering rivet heads off with the air chisel and punching, removing bolts with an air chisel, cutting with a Dremel tool in a confined area, impact gun use, and snap ring pliers use. Each of these skills would be necessary to perform the simulated extrications later in the day.
Rotation #3: Torch Use & Auger Entrapment: Torch Use: The torch is a very quick and effective cutting tool in the hands of a skilled user, especially when working in close proximity to a patient. At this rotation students discussed the pros and cons of using a torch as well as hazards that would preclude the use of a torch. Each member was then afforded the opportunity to cut various pieces of metal using the torch under the supervision of an instructor. Auger Entrapment & Fence Impalement: While this may be a rare occurrence the tools and techniques can be applied to this and other impalement scenarios. Students used both the torch and saw-zall to cut sections of the fence while cooling the metal to prevent heat trans- mission to the patient. Augers have many uses in farm and industrial settings. Loose clothing or a misplaced limb can easily become entrapped in these devices. Students practice stabilizing this heavy section of auger before beginning to cut it and continually support it as it is lifted. Scenario(s): The final portion of the class is scenario based. The participants will be faced with scenarios that will require the skills and tools learned from the above rotations. The groups could have as many as four different scenarios depending on time and the difficulty of each one.

Continuing Education (CE) Courses - Street Smart Command
|
Class Vendor: This class is available for contracted delivery from MU Fire Rescue Training Institute - MUFRTI. Contracted Price: $2500.
Taking command at a scene is the easy part, but having a command presence and being able to control the fire-ground is something very different. We find too many times that incident commanders get too focused on accountability boards, flow charts, organizational structure sheets and worksheets that they get behind on actually running the call. The items listed are tools, not what makes an incident run smooth. Crews must trust the command officer and the command officer must trust the crews, and that trust only comes from good, accurate decisions being made on a consistent basis. This class will provide incident commanders with the tools to have a command presence, not just a command post at working incidents. From how to communicate with crews operating to setting up your call to expand if needed, we will teach the students how not get overwhelmed when the call isn’t going just as planned. Reading smoke, understanding the construction characteristics, allowing crews to work and properly assigning resources are the main focus in this class.
Course Objectives: Understand the differences between task, tactical and strategic level roles on the fire-ground. Be able to list and understand operational objectives and priorities. Identify operational and command benchmarks for progress . Be able to identify red flags that may indicate a change in strategy is needed. Learn how trust between the IC and company officer is critical to operational success. How to make the fire-ground and incident “smaller” by using division supervisors

|
Class Vendor: This class is available for contracted delivery from MU Fire Rescue Training Institute - MUFRTI. Contracted Price: $2500.
The officer in the right seat will determine from the onset, the success or not of the incident. As the first line goes, so goes the call could not be any truer when considering the decisions make initially by the first due officer. The fate of the call, in many cases, rests on that first due officer and his/her ability to get it right from the beginning. Whether it’s choosing the right line and getting it to the right place, deciding the mode of attack to determining when victims come before fire attack, the quick and accurate decision making of the first due officer is critical. This class will use actual fire video and audio to provide examples of good decisions and the consequences of the bad ones. Walking through the initial size up to what we look for on the 360 to establishing pre-determined roles, this class will offer real-world examples and techniques that work to make us more effective and efficient on the fire scene, which keeps our members safe and gives our citizens the best change at survive.

NFA Courses - Type 3 All-Hazards Incident Management Team 0305
|
This five-day course provides students with a solid foundation of the activities, processes, leadership elements, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) necessary to function within the framework of a Type 3 AHIMT deployed to an incident or planned event. The course is considered fast-paced, highly interactive, and challenging as the students, formed into the Command and General Staff positions on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team, navigate through multiple activities and rapidly expanding incident scenarios. The course includes a comprehensive review of the roles and responsibilities of each of the Incident Command System (ICS) Command and General Staff positions, their roles as leaders of their sections or functional areas, leadership and teambuilding, and decision-making under stress. A significant portion of time is spent explaining the Planning Process, each step within the process, the roles and responsibilities of each ICS position within the process, and the deliverables expected from them (based on their ICS position on the team) at the conclusion of each step. Multiple scenarios are used throughout the class to provide the students with opportunities to practice each step of the Planning Cycle, conduct the meetings and briefings, and produce multiple Incident Action Plans (IAPs). Two of the course days include comprehensive incident scenarios that last approximately five hours and that require the team to manage current incident management operations of a rapidly expanding incident, at the same time as planning for, and completing, an IAP for the next Operational Period.
This course meets the needs of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF). The USFA O-305, Type 3 All-Hazard Incident Management Team (AHIMT) Introduction course focuses on the importance of developing and operating as a functional Type 3 AHIMT. This course will assist individual responders to perform as viable team members by:
• Learning the basic foundational KSAs necessary to perform in an ICS position on an AHIMT.
• Emphasizing the nature and purpose of a Type 3 AHIMT so that others in the community and emergency services are more willing and able to assist or participate in their local Type 3 AHIMT.
• Demonstrating the critical role that leadership and teamwork skills play in the success of a Type 3 AHIMT.
• Providing a basic framework for building and maintaining critical interpersonal communications and working together as a team member of a Type 3 AHIMT.
• Operationalizing the components of the NIMS and NRF for use in the field.
• Offering practical experience of on-scene operations through extensive exercises and simulations that provide multiple opportunities to perform as members of a Type 3 AHIMT during simulated incidents.
Target Audience
This course is intended to be taught at the introductory level for participation on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team. Students in this course should include all interdisciplinary emergency response personnel, such as fire protection and law enforcement personnel, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responders, staff members of departments of public works and departments of public health, emergency management, mass care, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and members of various community and tribal groups offering critical emergency response services.
