My husband and I have been in the fire service, EMS and medical field for over 18 years. He started his service as a Paid Call Firefighter 18 years ago.

During the past 18 years, I have worked in the medical field in various training capacities such as Performance Improvement and Risk Management for a large medical facility who was responsible for ensuring all staff from MD's to Physician Assistants, RN's, LVN's and Medical Assistants receive ongoing training and education. I have also been a medical transcriptionist for the past 15 years.
The training materials offered in my listing are a combined work of the many years of training in the above fields. These materials are unique to both of our actual work experience.

In order for firefighters to competently and safety function in the dangerous situations and environments that they are often placed in, they must be involved in active training in a safe low stress environment. This builds confidence and allows for the recognition of conditions that could endanger their lives.
The final step is the review of actual fire incidents through debriefing. During both my husband's firefighting career and my emergency room/ medical experience, it has been my opinion that everyone tries to do their very best at an emergency incident. Rarely is the performance “perfectâ€, there is always something to be learned from every incident. Firstly, everyone must encourage each other to honestly appraise their own performance and then to appraise the performance of others in the team in a positive manner to ensure that people are not discouraged, strengths should be reinforced, and areas of improvement should be identified. Strategies can then be developed to ensure increased efficiency and safety.
To obtain this maximum benefit I am offering Tactical Training and Reference Cd/DVD's that focus on individualized training topics. Review of realistic training sessions can greatly assist in identifying and rectifying deficiencies in training, equipment, protective clothing and operational procedures. This training DVD+R is great for the new firefighter looking to improve his skills, the volunteer firefighter who is looking to land a Full-time position or for a department who is seeking to enhance their training library.
Don't be mislead by other sellers who offer 6, 8, & 10+ DVD sets, these files are compressed and include MORE information that the tv/dvd sets where you can only include one video per dvd. These are computer dvd's in video format and are jam-packed with valuable training information.
SPECIAL NOTE: All the listed module files are compiled onto a DVD+R. Videos are in a MPEG format and designed to be played on a computer only. You must have a DVD Rom in order to access the files on this DVD. Other files are in both Powerpoint and Adobe Acrobat. Readers are included for the files.
ext3The extrication of human beings from the vehicles they drive can pose some of the biggest challenges a firefighter can encounter in his/her career. The need for well trained rescuers knows no boundaries with such incidents occurring from the largest cities to the smallest towns. The way you and your crew perform can determine whether someone lives or whether someone dies. You must be prepared to be able to make quick, thoughtful decisions that will allow you to mediate any extrication incident with skill and speed. This training module addresses Vehicle extrication using both the VIDEO and the Powerpoint Presentations to address the following systematic process. using following eleven steps:
1. PREPARATION- Preparation refers to both the good working order of equipment and the readiness of personnel. Equipment preparation requires selecting the most appropriate rescue vehicle for the task and properly maintaining and servicing the equipment. Personnel preparation refers to proper training and the selection of protective gear.
2. RESPONSE- Response means response to the scene. The scene must be immediately assessed for traffic control and potential hazards. Placement of the rescue vehicle is an important consideration as well.
3. ASSESSMENT- The first decision to be made is whether rescue is needed. If so, then it is necessary to locate all vehicles and victims. Once this is accomplished, it must be determined if rescue is possible or if more equipment and/or manpower is necessary.
4. HAZARD CONTROL- The primary hazard is fire potential. Two high-volume hoses should always be ready. If necessary, gas leaks should be plugged or diked. Flammable vehicular fluids and electrical systems which could supply a spark for ignition should be checked and remedied. Sharp metal and glass can also pose a danger and rescuers and victims should be protected. Downed power lines and bystanders are other potential hazards which must be considered.
5. STABILIZATION- All vehicles must be stabilized for the safety of victims and rescuers. For victims this is especially important since any movement could worsen an injury. Even vehicles on all four wheels are not stable because it is capable of rolling or bouncing on the tires. Instructions on how to use cribbing to stabilize a vehicle in this position and on its roof and side are given. Other options, if cribbing is not available or adequate, are also given.
6. PRIMARY ACCESS- The objective of primary access is to provide medical personnel with a means to reach victims so they may administer emergency medical attention. The best means of primary access is simply opening one of the vehicle's doors. If the doors are jammed, do not pry them; go through the windows. A second option is to break a side window, preferably away from any victims, using tape to cover the window to avoid glass shattering in the vehicle. The rear window is not recommended because it is usually more difficult to control glass shattering due to the shape and size of the window. Finally, access can be achieved relatively easily through a hatch-back for this type car model.
7. SECONDARY ACCESS- The objective of secondary access is to create an opening from which to remove victims. This usually requires the opening or removal of doors. Several methods for removing doors and opening them beyond their normal range are given. Another less recommended option for secondary access is window removal, with the front windshield advised over the rear window. Options and directions for removing both mastic and rubber mounted windshields are discussed. Finally, two types of roof removal (half-roof and full-roof) are explained.extrication1
8. DISENTANGLEMENT- Disentanglement, the process of freeing victims who become entrapped, may require the movement or removal of certain vehicle parts. Seats can be moved or removed by using hydraulic spreaders or rams, jacks, come-a-longs, or even socket wrenches. Steering wheels can often be tilted, cut half off at the bottom, or fully removed for more working room. The dashboard may be cut out in sections using an air chisel or hacksaw, or it can be displaced using a hydraulic power tools or a come-a-long. Foot pedals causing entanglement can be moved using hydraulic power tools, chains or ropes, or may be unbolted if time permits.
9. PACKAGING AND REMOVAL- Packaging can include bandaging, splinting, spinal immobilization, and weather protection of the victim. Removal refers to the removal of the victim through the passage created during the Secondary Access stage. The same consideration must be given to fatal victims as living victims. Care must be taken not to disturb any evidence.
10. CLEANUP- Cleanup requires the collection and inventory of all tools used. Note should be made of any missing or broken tools. Cribbing used to stabilize a vehicle should be dismantled carefully. All equipment should be cleaned and made ready for their next use.
