RIT training

[ranger23]

Our dept. has just mandated the use of a RIT on all working fires. But there is some uncertainty about the full realm of the RIT duties on the fire scene so for now it is basically 2 men on a hose.
Does any one have any SOP's or training info for RIT operations.

I'll be happy to email some of our SOP's and the portion of accredadation document dealing with rapid intervention teams

Try and get in touch with a Jim Crawford of Pittsburgh's Bureau of Fire. He is very helpful with the issue and very knowledgable. I think he goes by PBFTK13 on these boards.
