CALLING THE MAYDAY
This intensive firefighter survival training program prepares participants to perform self-rescue and rescue downed firefighters in high-stress, IDLH environments. Through realistic MAYDAY scenarios, hands-on skill stations, and physically demanding challenge courses, students develop critical competencies in SCBA emergency maneuvers, air management, firefighter survival techniques, and rapid decision-making under pressure.
The course emphasizes advanced methods to extend air supply, improve survivability, and execute effective downed firefighter packaging, drags, carries, and floor removal techniques. Participants also gain practical experience using essential fireground tools and equipment carried on apparatus or within personal protective gear, strengthening real-world readiness, confidence, and performance during emergency incidents.
