Purpose:
The Indiana Fire Chiefs Association Technical Rescue Section’s Technical Committee has secured a Grant to produce and conduct a Rescue Awareness Level Training Program designed to provide firefighters, and/or public safety officials, within the ten IDHS districts of the state, an opportunity for consistent, quality training at the local level without creating a burden on the individual to travel to receive training.
Overview:
The Technical Rescue Awareness Level training program is designed to deliver a 12-hour instructional (no practical skills included) program that will provide Awareness Level Training in all seven Technical Rescue categories.
Certification:
Attendees may apply for a variance for State Certification in all seven disciplines provided they have Hazmat Awareness certification. All variance paperwork will be done at the end of the class and be submitted with the class roster. All students, who pass the course, will receive a certificate of attendance for this class. This program meets NFPA 1670 requirements for the Awareness Level, provided students have met the prerequisites.
Instructor Guidelines
In order to become an Adjunct Instructor for the program, you must be an Instructor I and have State certification in all seven Technical Rescue categories at the Awareness level or above.
In order to become a Lead Instructor for the program, you must be an Instructor II,III and have certification in all seven Technical Rescue categories at the Operations level or above.
If you meet these criteria, and are interested in becoming an instructor, please complete and submit an application.
Facility Guidelines
The ideal facility for these programs would be either a large lecture hall or auditorium that would accommodate 100 to 150 students in a comfortable environment for a two-day time period. At no cost!
