Course Fees Reduced for RIT Under Fire: Rapid Intervention Team Operations

Course fees for RIT Under Fire have been reduced to $975.
Also, this course is now a 40-hour class.

IFSI R.I.T. UNDER FIRE will instruct tactical and strategic rapid intervention operations using repeated “Mayday” deployments into various types of occupied structures using live fire conditions, a review of firefighter injury and fatality case studies, demonstrations and lecture material. This program is designed for the ranks of firefighter, company officer and chief officer.

The firefighter will operate under the direction of a R.I.T. company officer to execute tactical skills such as search and Rope Assisted Search Procedures (RASP) operations, victim extrication, and disentanglement. The company officer will direct and manage the search operation, size-up conditions, and execute the rescue. The chief officer will manage the rescue sector and a R.I.T. sector by executing multiple search and rescue action plans and accountability.

The class will progress from the rescue of a single, disoriented firefighter under smoke conditions to a more complex evolution involving several firefighters trapped in a burning structure where concrete slabs and steel debris must be lifted or cut to free the firefighters.
