At 10:24am on December 14, 2008, Brent Hullender said…: There are several states that have Smoke Diver Programs. They have a wide range of difficulty (from 2 to 6 days). Georgia's is one of the toughest. It is 6 days and 60-70 hours. The Georgia program started in 1978 and there are a total of 730 Ga. Smoke Divers since 1978.

It is basically a firefighter safety & survival course that pushes you to your physical and mental limits. Critical decision making and adaptability in high-stress environments is a key part of the training. It is over 90% hands-on (very realistic). Over the 30 years of the program, the pass rate is approximately 60%. It is a difficult class, but very educational and very rewarding.

Checkout the video I posted "GSD Class 37" and you can checkout our website at We are in the process of building a new site but the old one still has some info about the program.

Thanks,

Hull
