VES: Beyond the Door


  • Danville, Illinois (map)

September 29 or 30, 2025 
Danville, IL | 0800-1800+
Instructed by Brothers in Battle, LLC.

"Beyond the Door" is not just speaking about physically searching beyond the door, but rather thinking outside the check box that has consumed most VES training. We will use experience, statistics, building construction knowledge and tempo to occupy the spaces where victims are most likely to be found and put THEM first! We will put you in real world scenarios, environments, and layouts that will reinforce your current VES skills and when, why, or how to move beyond the standard check box VES training.

Situations include: what to do with no door to control, can multiple firefighter's perform VES?, do conditions allow us to continue the search beyond the door?, access/egress issues (cyclone gates, fences, window bars, cars, etc), victim removal issues, victims presenting at windows, & much more. 

Skills/topics include: window cuts, baby drop / conscious victim ladder assists, interior door hinge removal, isolation challenges, continuing the search beyond the door, large open areas / rooms with no doors for isolation, multiple beds / bunks / cribs, dirty drags, mask-up skills, ladder carries, and throws.
