Looking for Info - Light Rescue Class for the Public

[LaFireEducator]

I am in the process of developing a Citizens Fire Academy for my department. We are in a tornado belt and one of the areas the class will cover is post-tornado light structural rescue until we arrive. If anyone has any class materials or powerpoints in this area, or drill ideas, I would appreciatte the assitance.

I can be reached at FireSafetyAssoc@aol.com with questions or you can e-mail the stuff to that addy.

Thanks.

Hi There

Just saw your post on firehouse.com

I developed a national USAR awareness package for use in New Zealand when I was with the NZ Fire Service/Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management (equiv to FEMA). ALthough I can not give the trainers package that has all the slides, you can contact chris.schraders@dia.govt.nz to see if they will release the package (on CD) to you.

However, the student notes, workbook, feild ops guide is on the web (Noting we use the UN marking systems, not those developed by FEMA).

Hope this helps
