Each year firefighters across our nation become lost or trapped and some tragically die in "routine" fires. Many of those who perish did so because they could not manage the emergency they found themselves involved in, preventing them from getting out of the fire building or area they were working.

Offered for the first time in Cortland County, a pilot program designed to address the need for continuing education for the line, interior firefighter and the use of their self-contained breathing apparatus. This redesigned course will allow the student to build upon their basic SCBA skills and further enhance the individual's confidence in the SCBA and its use during a "personal" critical event. Successful candidates will receive (2) certifications from the National Fire Academy, Calling the Mayday credit on their TIMS record and a 9 hour NYS OFPC refresher certificate. Students shall demonstrate proficiency with the SCBA in the following situations:

Maintenance/Inspection, Donning Time/Quality, Restricted Operations, Emergency Procedures, Air Management, Room Orientation, Radio Procedures/Emergencies, PASS Operations, MAYDAY/Urgent Message Procedures and Assisting other Firefighters w/ Emergencies

It should be realized that this is not an introductory training program but a refresher or an opportunity for the interior firefighter to demonstrate that they have mastery of the required basic SCBA emergency procedures and self rescuing skills.
