This option could potentially save your agency money due to its ability to save on overall hotels needed, total meals purchased and overtime costs.

2 Hour ARFF Search and Rescue Course

Searching the interior of an aircraft is very different than searching a building for incapacitated victims.

Our 2 Hour ARFF Search and Rescue Course exposes our students to the proper techniques to search both Narrow and Wide Body Aircrafts, and shows them how to properly rescue victims out of exits and wings utilizing ladders and other tools. Once they have been exposed to the techniques, the students will form two or three person Interior Search Teams and search our Narrow Body Aircraft for our manikins while having real life conditions such as smoke and weighted down luggage as obstacles. This course can be added to your Part 139 Annual Burn training day and will be completed after your Annual Burn requirements are met. The ARFF Search and Rescue Course is included with attendance to the 40 Hour ARFF Basic Course.
