Our goal is to create an environment of higher learning through focused attention. By limiting class sizes to a 3:1 student to instructor ratio we maximize performance.
Classes are held throughout Scott and surrounding counties in facilities that provide realistic, yet tightly controlled, exposure to the complexities of technical rescue emergencies; balancing realism with safety.
With a diverse range of training sites, Scott County Fire Department can provide exposure to industrial, tower, confined spaces, and austere environments.
We're Instructors who love rope! Our team has applied rope rescue techniques in real world emergencies, all over the world, in a vast array of environments and continue to hone our craft through dedicated training and teaching.
By combining knowledge with experience, we are able to provide a learning environment that challenges students beyond what a typical class could offer.
We understand that students may have differing equipment at their agency. There is nothing more frustrating than taking a class that exclusively uses equipment your agency doesn't have.
We have a wide selection of 11mm equipment, 13mm equipment and non-mechanical devices.
If your agency has specific needs, please feel free to contact us.
40 hours isn't enough!
Our department has led the initiative to set the standard for training and expected outcomes for students participating in our program.
Currently, our program spans 9 days with over 60 hours of instruction. During which, students will gain lots of hands-on experience, exposure to and application of roles and responsibilities within ICS, defined team roles and responsibilities, heavy focus on EMS integration, and much more.
The course comes to a close with a full day of student led, scenario driven field training exercises that test their skills, knowledge, teamwork and endurance.
Curriculum is delivered in accordance to job performance requirements set forth by the NFPA. Students are provided with a JPR handbook for documentation and record keeping.
In addition to NFPA, JPR's and regulations from OSHA, SPRAT and IRATA are included.
At the successful completion of this rigorous course, students are presented with Certificates for their AHJ. Where applicable, Kentucky students that are members of a fire department will be provided with a KFS-1b Training Notice.
