Reality of RIT is a 2-day, real-world, goal-driven Rapid Intervention Team program designed to prepare firefighters for the realities of a firefighter down—not textbook scenarios. This course bridges the gap between policy and performance, emphasizing decision-making under stress, air management, and efficient firefighter removal in hostile environments.

Hands-on training focuses heavily on air emergencies, including SCBA familiarity, air-depletion recognition, facepiece and cylinder interventions, and emergency conversions. Students will also perform practical extrication and packaging procedures, reinforcing disciplined movements, communication, and teamwork required to remove a downed firefighter quickly and safely from an IDLH environment.

Reality of RIT is built to challenge complacency, expose operational gaps, and ensure crews are prepared when seconds truly matter.

Real-World. Goal-Driven.
