"SCBA Bootcamp: A Firefighter's Survival School"
April 11, 2019
1:30 PM - 3:15 PM
Room TBA
As part of Strike the Box Training's SCBA Bootcamp ® , we instil and emphasize a series of potentially life-saving practices and techniques we've termed as the Continuum of Survival ® . One such technique is the "Kick & Crawl" method of self-extrication. When a firefighter falls through a floor, their means of escape/rescue may be very limited due to a lack of points of egress or ability to reach or use them. Inaccessible or absent windows and unstable stairs may further complicate the issue. Firefighter rescue drills such as the Nance and Denver Drills focus on removing the unconscious or incapacitated firefighter. However, AFTER sounding the MAYDAY, the firefighter that is conscious and uninjured or minimally hurt has the capability of beginning self-rescue efforts prior to the assembly, deployment and arrival of personnel and equipment designated for that purpose.
Any tactic or technique we use on the fireground carries an inherent risk that's weighed against the probability of a desired outcome. The Kick & Crawl method is no different - it has pros & cons, capabilities and limitations.
(NOTE: This is a survival technique - Yes, it is risky and potentially dangerous! - But, it beats the alternative)
Capabilities & Limitations:

(NOTE: This is a survival technique - Yes, it is risky and potentially dangerous! - But, it beats the alternative)
Capabilities & Limitations:
- Firefighter must be conscious and relatively uninjured
- Limited to use on bulkheads made of drywall/gypsum board, paneling, light plaster & lath or similar materials
- No specialized tools or equipment are required - just hands & feet
- Using a tool, hands or feet, the firefighter quickly creates hand/foot holds in the wall while ascending.
- Firefighter "Kicks & Crawls" to where he/she can reach a landing, breach to an adjoining room or climb to a means of escape
Recreational Boater or WRECK-reational Boater...? Which one are you?
Training + Education + Experience + Preparedness = Safe Boat Handling
Boater education AND Training are critical for the safe operation of recreational vessels. Organizations such as the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadron, and Natural Resources Police provide EXCELLENT boater safety education programs.
Despite their tireless efforts, INEXPERIENCED BOATERS STILL RANK WITHIN THE TOP FIVE CAUSES OF RECREATIONAL BOATING ACCIDENTS!
STB Training can bring Hands-On-Training to You!
AFTER you have successfully completed an approved Boater Safety Course, its time to put those educational principles into practice. STB Training offers Hands-On training in Basic Seamanship for NEW BOATERS as well as for those boaters who simply want to enhance their confidence and experience on the water.
