4Brothers Training Presents:
Responder Vs. Machinery

HOSTED BY: 
Kitsap County Fire Training Consortium

8 HOURS OF HANDS-ON TRAINING INCLUDING:
Incidents involving mechanical entrapment or impalement happen rarely, but their inherent complexity and potential danger require that first responders are prepared to handle these rescue challenges. 

These infrequent yet high-risk incidents demand a careful and experienced approach to patient removal and medical treatment. Responders must develop a mindset rooted in both technical skill and patient care within often complex settings.

Participants will learn various rescue methods using hand, pneumatic, and power tools to achieve successful outcomes as they rotate through a tool lab and rescue technique practice. As part of the training, participants will respond to and address five rescue incident simulations that involve tools and techniques introduced during the lab, including entangled digits, limb entrapment, and impalement.

Participants will gain an appreciation for tools that should be part of the tool complement on an engine company and are not commonly used in this discipline.
