This is our annual
Training and Expo Event
It offers three levels of Auto Extrication Training,
Big Rig Rescue TM , Patient Care, Scene Management, Supplemental Restraint System Technology and
Hybrid Vehicle Anatomy and Extrication. All this and an Expo complete with many Free Classes, Live Demos and Training
Exhibits.
We are extremely proud to partner with the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) in bring you the third year of what we hope will be many years of the highest
quality training events.
We
have revised our classes to meet and exceed the NFPA 1670,
1006 and 472 standards as they apply to auto extrication.
For Texas Attendees:
These
classes are accepted by both SFFMA and the Texas Commission for CE hours and will complete the objectives for each level of the new
certification program being developed for SFFMA.

Big Rig Course 1: (Technician,
Specialty) 12 hours
Tuition $150.00
Attendees will receive classroom and hands-on training using unique techniques with both light and heavy rescue
equipment.
Classroom training will provide information on:
Air Bag Lifting Systems (High, Low Pressure and New Technology)
Timber Cribbing and Strut Support Operations
The 5 Step Discipline for Overturns and Underrides
Attendees will perform uncommon extrication techniques such as trunk tunneling and the “Pickup Truck Slice”. Also, unique methods of stabilization using strut systems and “cradling”
techniques will be practiced, knowing the equipment is within its Working Load Limits, thus enhancing safety for all involved.
Attendees will operate at very challenging, yet realistic scenarios featured during the hands-on session. Such scenarios include a loaded cement mixer overturned on a car, a side resting car under a van trailer,
bobtail underride, and a loaded garbage truck overturned onto a car.
This is a Free Class open to all emergency
responders!
Hybrid Vehicles:
This training will provide the latest information and techniques for dealing
with hybrid vehicles in both extrication and fire situations,
including:
Familiarization, low and high voltage shut down, idle stop mode, key-less ignition,
emergency response guides, technical extrication information and dealing with hybrid fires.
Many hybrid cars and trucks will be displayed.
This is a Free Class open to all emergency responders!
Air Bags and Safety Restraint Systems:
This class will present the latest information on safety restraint systems through the
2008 models, both foreign and domestic.
Including;
Driver’s and passenger’s frontal airbags, door mounted side impact airbags,
seat mounted side impact airbags, curtain airbags and head protection systems, rear passenger airbags, seat position, occupant
position, weight, and seat belt, sensor systems. Rop systems, pre accident and post accident safety systems, single and dual
stage inflators, pyrotechnic and compressed gas inflators.
System shut down, battery locations, vehicle scanning, inflation zones, trim removal,
inflator locations, capacitor bleed down times, out side sources of danger (cell phones, stereo systems, static electricity)and much more.
Dozens of airbags and related systems will be on display.
Patient Extraction:
Basic patient care, C-spine, C-collars, KEDs, lifting and handing techniques, patient packaging, the
golden hour, patient chain of life support (first aid, BLS,
ALS, ER)
This class is designed not only for first responders, but to give emergency room personnel an insight
into operations, techniques, and problems that we face as Rescuers, EMTs, and Paramedics.
