Course Details:
Overview:Aerie Backcountry Medicine offers a RT-130 course for fire personnel to refresher their red card.
The Red Card, officially called
an Incident Qualification Card, is an accepted interagency certification
that a person is qualified to do the required job when arriving on an
incident.
Course Details:This course is designed to
prepare you to operate as a Fireline EMT / Paramedic. The Fireline EMS
positions are unique entry-level positions in the wildland fire service
that are often asked to operate more independently than most entry-level
fire positions. We acknowledge the unique risk this poses if you were
to be contracted onto a fire, and so we have built a course to exceed
national standards.
This course is completed over the duration of one in-person training day. This integrates classroom-based discussions and case-studies along with field based work, where participants
complete an arduous pack test (see below), fire shelter deployments and
other fieldwork.
Prerequisites:The RT-130 is only for those who have previously held a red card certification. To
facilitate a more in-depth classroom/field training session, we may require
the following training certificates to be sumitted priort to the RT-130:
• Introduction to ICS (IS-100)
• NIMS: An Introduction (IS-700)
• Human Factors in the Wildland Fire Service (L-180)
• Firefighter Training (S-130)
• Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior (S-190)
Arduous Pack Test:This course includes a test
to show each firefighter is able to perform arduous duty. That is a
3-mile walk with a 45-pound pack completed in or under 45 minutes.
Cost:Contact Aerie. Cost does not include accommodations, food, or any other travel expenses.
Location:Missoula, MT
