Firefighter Self Rescue is based on Chief John Salka’s “Get Out Alive”
program, this program is designed for self-rescue and rescue of trapped
firefighters. Course content will enable firefighters to recognize the types of
events encountered on the fire ground that contribute to firefighter
disorientation and/or entrapment, to have knowledge of what is necessary
to ensure their safety and that of their partners or crew members, and
perform self-rescue techniques when disoriented, separated, or when
needing to exit a structure in an emergency. This course requires students
to perform several practical evolutions with self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA). This course includes the National Fire Academy Calling
the Mayday.
