The Principles of Lifting & Stabilization

Stabilizing, lifting & capturing are the 3 vital components associated with a successful rescue operation when dealing with a confirmed pin. Remove any one of these, and the results could be disastrous for the victim & rescuers. This class is designed to provide students with a better understanding of the lifting & stabilization equipment typically used in the fire service. The objective of this class is to build a solid operational foundation based on thee 3 aspects of lifting (stabilization, lifting, & capturing) and tying them together to insure a positive outcome. The focus will be Hands on Learning as the students rotate through real life scenarios involving motor vehicles, construction equipment, and big rigs.  Students will get plenty of tool time using high pressure airbags, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic rescue tools, Res-q-Jacks, Struts, Griphoists, chain & binders etc.
