Day One of RIT Class was a review of search and rescue, as well as self rescue.

     

     

   

Day Two began with specialized rescue scenario's due to a collapse and entrapment of a down Firefighter.

     

     

Scenario #1

A RIT deployment for a trapped firefighter that was searching on the first floor of a residential structure.  The firefighter reported that he was trapped under a collapsed ceiling.  Crews made entry located the general area, made a wall breech and completed an SCBA air change over.  All three scenarios were done under smoke conditions.

     

To make the rescue a second crew made an enlarged opening for a quicker egress with the firefighter that was down.
