Friday Night sessions will be chosen on site. Saturday sessions must be picked using the registration form.

Les sessions du vendredi soir vont être choisies sur place.  Les sessions du samedi doivent être entrées dans le formulaire d'enregistration.

The Pump Operator is a half-day practical session, Firefighters will learn to operate the fire pump by drawing/drafting water from the water tank, a pressurized supply source (hydrant) and a static water supply source (portable water tank) and perform driving duties such getting water from a pre-determine site and delivering it to the pumping area while demonstration proper backing  techniques to fill a portable tank.

Opérateur d'autopompe est une session pratique d’une demi-journée qui va permettre à l'opérateur d’opérer la pompe incendie avec l’eau du réservoir d’eau du camion incendie, avec une source d’alimentation en eau sous pression (borne d’incendie) et avec une réserve d’eau statique (réservoir portatif) et aussi effectuer des fonctions de conduite tel que d'aller chercher de l'eau à un site prédéterminé et de la délivrer dans la zone de pompage tout en démontrant des techniques de recule appropriées pour remplir un réservoir portatif.

Documenting and preserving scene evidence with an overview of the hydrocarbon detection canine.  This half-day session will deliver a glimpse of what to document throughout the course of an investigation. It will also give some pointers on how to document important facts during the fire suppression and overall activity during a fire. The session will be based on a theory presentation in class and a hands-on session along with a demonstration of our hydrocarbon detection K-9.

Documenter et préserver les éléments de preuves avec un aperçu du travail d’un chien détecteur d'hydrocarbure.  Cette session d’une demi-journée va donner un aperçu de quoi documenter lors d’une enquête.  Des conseils sur comment documenter des faits importants lors de la suppression des incendies et des opérations de déblais seront aussi partagés.  La session débutera par une présentation théorique en classe et ensuite avec une session pratique accompagné par une démonstration d’un chien détecteur d'hydrocarbure.

 

Advance Fire Attack is a fast pace full day session, which will give qualified Firefighter’s tricks and techniques that will give them the upper hand when arriving first on scene of a structure fire. The first part of the morning will be done with no fire, teaching and given time to practice. This will be followed with the opportunity to practice what we delivered in a live fire environment. Students will have the opportunity to take part in an above grade fire, bellow grad fire and some other special situations that could potentially happen when fighting a structure fire.
This will be a high pace stand and students that register for this must come mentally prepared to work hard and properly hydrated. 

Attaque avancé d’incendie est une session pratique à rythme rapide d’une pleine journée,  qui donnera aux pompiers qualifiés des trucs et des techniques qui seront utiles lorsqu’ils seront les premiers arrives à un incendie de bâtiment.  La première partie du matin sera effectuée sans feu, afin de permettre l’enseignement et la pratique.  Suivi d’une opportunité de mettre en pratique ce qui fut enseigné dans un environnement réel d’incendie.  Les étudiants auront l’opportunité d’attaquer un incendie de bâtiment au-dessus et au-dessous du niveau du sol en plus de certaines situations spéciales qui peuvent arriver lors d’un incendie de bâtiment.
Ça va être une session à rythme rapide et les étudiants inscrits à la session doivent arriver mentalement prêts à travailler dure et proprement hydraté.

 

Size up and Tactics Selection This class will focus on the size-up of residential and multi-unit residential fires, including a discussion of critical fire ground factors for each building type. The session will include a review of size-up components including reading smoke, flow path identification and TIC usage. Videos and class room simulations will be used to encourage discussion and critical thinking amongst the participants.

Flashover Simulator is a half-day practical session that allows students to witness a live flashover in the safety of a simulator trailer. Students will see rolling flames and feel the heat during their simulation.
Simulateur d'embrasement généralisé est une session pratique d’une demi-journée qui permettra aux étudiants de vivre l'expérience d'un embrasement dans la sécurité d'un simulateur remorque. Les étudiants observeront le roulis des flammes et sentiront de la chaleur durant la simulation.

The primary search is one of the most critical tasks performed on the fireground—yet too often, it’s initiated too late in the incident timeline.

This class is designed to expose firefighters to a wide range of search tactics and techniques, utilizing modern equipment and LIVE FIRE scenarios to build both skill and confidence. With statistics showing that 67% of fireground rescues are made by just one or two members, this session will emphasize realistic, high-stakes methods and the mindset required to perform when lives hang in the balance.

This is a physically demanding session. Students are encouraged to bring a thermal imaging camera from their department (if available) and are strongly advised to hydrate well prior to attending.

If you’re serious about becoming the kind of searching firefighter you’d want coming for your own family—this is the class for you.

Vehicle Extrication - The art of rescuing those trapped in motor vehicle collisions requires hours of preparatio and training.

Throughout this session, attending rescue students will be expose to a wide array of skill sets, including responding to underride entrapments involving larger vehicles and passenger vehicles, stabilization tips and tricks, and methods for rapidly extricating patients in critical condition.

The ask of the fire service in today's climate is simple:  citizens want to be rescued effectively and rapidly.

The operational environment has changed significantly with advancements in vehicle construction and technology, but the rescuer's mission has not.  Throughout this class, instructors will empower those attending by passing on proven skills, techinques, and methods to better leverage their crews' tactical capabilities in the field.

We will discuss practical ways to cut valuable seconds from your operations and improve efficiency when those seconds matter most.

Be the rescuer you would want showing up for your family and sign up for this class.

Highway Safety:  Traffic Incident Management for First Responders

Firefighters, police officers, paramedics and other emergency service providers are highly trained professionals who are called upon to stabilize almost any situation imaginable. Upon arrival at an incident, they are required to make decisions that affect lives and/or property and the safety of everyone at the scene. They analyze the situation, identify the critical factors, and act or react to them immediately. The severity or technical complexity of the incident increases the number of critical decisions that the ‘Incident Commander’ is required to resolve. Traditionally, this priority-based system has provided a level of safety at the scene by the operation of optical warning devices and the placement of vehicles. Red, amber, blue or a combination of these colors in rotating, flashing or strobe light patterns were considered sufficient to protect emergency workers and their vehicles parked randomly at the scene.
