Shasta College

Advanced RIC Operations

The Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) Operations course trains fire fighters to rescue a downed fire fighter in an immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) environment, and was developed in the continuing effort to reduce the number of fire fighter injuries and deaths that occur regularly. Students train using evolutions and scenarios based off tragedies suffered by fellow fire fighters from departments across the country. Students receive information on how to locate and use these LODD studies as training and prevention tools throughout their careers. The course focuses on the three phases of a RIC operation:

1. Pre-Deployment
2. Deployment
3. Rescue

During the class, you will also gain a greater understanding of RIC operations terminology and the RIC mindset.
