Where firefighters come to talk training

High Rise Fires - Train the Trainer

Hello to everyone in the forum and pleasure to meet you!

I have two members of my department that I am trying to send away to get trained on procedures and IMS for highrise fires, that they can bring back and train the rest of the department on.

Our local Fire College has a course next year that is booked up and most likely will not have anything available until 2012.

I have done a web search (Which led me to your forum) and I am wondering if anyone knows of any courses available that I can send my guys to? Any help would be appreciated and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in Fire Safety,

Carson.

The Surrey Fire Service is partnering with the University of the Fraser Valley to hold a one-day high-rise symposium on September 15,2010. See details in the link below. The conference will feature a mix of policy and operational lectures.
