Rope Rescue Specialist RRS Advanced Training – Course

Description

Prerequisite: Technician Certification

Course Description: The Rope Rescue Specialist/Advanced (RRS) Course is for rope rescue team members who have completed a comprehensive basic training and want to continue to specialize. This training continues where the Rope Rescue Technician (RRT) course finishes. The RRS course examines advanced technical solutions. It elaborates on the use of multi-pods, monopod and A-frames, various configurations of steep, diagonal and horizontal spans, the use of multiple track lines in highline operations, industrial lead climbing, loads and forces, incident management and scenario training. This training is consistent with the NFPA 1006 and 2500 (Formerly 1670) standards for technician level.

REMS Standard Of Rescue | This class meets or exceeds all the requirements for Rope Operations / Operator and Technician for Rapid Extraction Module (REM) Requirements in Region 6.  These classes allow REMS teams to practice with equipment required in the minimum gear list provided by region 6 and FIRESCOPE standards.  Since 2015 we have trained over 40 REMS teams to this industry recognized standard. As always, this class is only the first step in becoming a competent responder; practice, experience, and judgement are all needed after the completion of the course.
