    Description
    <b><font color="7A0018">Begins Fall 2025</b></font><br> This course provides classroom instruction of vehicle rescue concepts. It introduces students to common vehicle rescue tools and hands-on practice of basic techniques used to free persons entrapped in vehicles as a result of traffic collisions. To successfully complete the skills portion, students must have the ability to lift tools that may weigh in excess of 50 pounds and perform other rigorous physical tasks. Students must supply instructor approved personal protective equipment (required instructional material) equivalent to that of a structural firefighting ensemble. This shall, at a minimum, include a helmet with face shield and/or goggles, leather gloves, turnout coat and pants, and turnout boots (or steel toed lace-up leather boots at least 8" in height with lugged soles).
