WATER RESCUE FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER
NFPA 1670 - AWARENESS

Introduces responders to the hazards, risks, and operational considerations of water incidents. Students learn scene assessment, safety protocols, resource activation, and the distinction between rescue and recovery operations in alignment with NFPA 1670 Awareness-Level standards.

WATER RESCUE & EMERGENCY RESPONSE (WRER) - OPERATIONS

Prepares responders to perform shore-based rescue techniques and support functions in water environments. Training covers moving water dynamics, medical considerations, personal safety, and fundamental rescue methods, supported by hands-on evolutions including controlled in-water training.

ADVANCED LINE SYSTEMS RESCUE (ALSR) - TECHNICIAN
