1. Reading Smoke and Modern Day Fires Still have openings
This dynamic two-part program will start with a presentation on reading smoke. What is the smoke telling us? How can we predict what is going to happen? The second part of the program we will cover research conducted by UL and FDNY on modern day fires and how best to attack these fires. This is a must for a Company Officer or Incident Commander and recommended for all fire service personnel.

6. Fire Officer and the Fire Ground Still have openings
This interactive course will cover what it takes to be a Fire Officer in today’s fire service. We will build on the foundation laid out with Saturday’s Reading Smoke and Modern Day Fires Class. Topics covered will be Fire Officer Development, Vermont state laws pertaining to the Fire Officer, and Building Construction. The rest of the day we will focus on scene size up and strategies and tactics for today’s fires. We will cover the SLICE-RS concept as it relates to fire behavior and flow paths and why firefighters are dying at an alarming rate. The student will then use the information presented to control fire ground scenario’s that face us every day. This is great for new and seasoned officers - as with building construction change, so has our tactics.
Prerequisites: Saturday’s Reading Smoke and Modern Day Fires Class. • Equipment Needs: None • Instructor: Captain Ed Webster • Sunday only
7. Managing the Mayday Still have openings

At the conclusion of this course, students will know how to appropriately select and use ropes, and they will be able to identify and tie the essential knots used for securing, hoisting, and lowering personnel and equipment. Students will also be able to describe how ropes are used in various rescue situations. This class will provide foundational skills for emergency ground work involving ropes. Once the basics are established in the classroom, the student will have an opportunity to train with ropes and other firefighting tools in a practical setting.

9. Rescue Task Force: Coordinated Response to Critical Incidents Still have openings
This course is intended to prepare Fire Personnel for a more coordinated response to a critical incident such as an active shooter or bombing. In recent years we have seen events such as the San Bernadino shooting and the Boston bombing that have tested the response of public safety. A coordinated response by Law Enforcement, EMS and Fire has been proven to be critical in the aftermath of these types of incidents. Getting rescuers to the injured faster has been shown to save lives and this course will talk about the roles played by all responders. Topics will include: An overview of unified command, law enforcement response, reasons to form rescue task forces, risks of rescue task force, communications, equipment concerns, tactical medicine concepts, and the unique role to be played by Fire Agencies. The instructors of this class will be experienced tactical operators/medics who are members of the Northwest Regional Special Response Team. This will be a combination classroom and hands-on class with a practical session with role players and scenario based training.
Prerequisites: None. Equipment Needs: All gear which would be normally used in a critical incident. You will be provided equipment but if any agencies have medical or other gear that is to be used in an active shooter/bombing incident, then they are encouraged to bring it. • Instructors: William Smith, Sgt. Joe Thomas, and Sgt. Chad Miles • Saturday OR Sunday Class • Class Limit: 25 • Class Minimum: 8
