4-hr FAST BOARD RESCUE SCENARIOS

**Prerequisite: Basic FAST Board Operations (BFBO)** This course can be delivered as an 8-hour session in conjunction with the BFBO.

 As with all FAST Board training, the course will begin with a brief review of the board and loading procedures. The focus of this session will be on advanced techniques and applications, covering the following topics:

– Methods for moving and rescuing a firefighter or civilian up and down portable ladders

– Techniques for lowering the FAST Board package from an upper-story window or roof using only the FAST Board components and the everyday carry (EDC) tools in your turnout gear

– Solutions to some of the most challenging fire rescue scenarios using FAST-tested techniques, including:

– The **Nance Drill**, named in honor of Columbus, Ohio Firefighter John Nance, who tragically fell through a floor during a rescue operation

– The **Denver Drill**, named in memory of Denver, Colorado Firefighter Mark Langvardt, who lost his life in an upper-story confined storage area

– Strategies for rescuing a firefighter who has collapsed on a pitched roof using the FAST Board

– The **”FAST Hustle”** — a fast-paced, high-intensity rescue drill that develops leadership, decision-making, and confidence in applying the skills learned throughout the course

The instructor-to-student ratio is 10:1, ensuring personalized, hands-on training for each participant. Upon successful completion of the course, each student will receive a certificate of completion.
