Open Enrollment - Man in Machine - Kinnelon

Sunday February 27th, 8am - 6pm
Hosted by the Kinnelon Volunteer Fire Department

"Man in Machine" incidents can involve something as simple as a ring stuck on a finger, and may be as complicated as an entire limb entangled in an enclosed auger. This course focuses on those situations, from the simple to the very complex. Without adequate training, the actions of the first responders may be ineffective or even worsen the situation. This program includes work, modular practical tool stations, and "hands-on" extrications in real-life scenarios. This course is designed to help achieve "Operations" and / or "Technician" level training in the Vehicle and Machinery Rescue disciplines as outlined in NFPA 1670 (Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents). PPE required includes eye protection, leather work gloves, pants (no shorts), technical rescue or firefighting helmet, and structural firefighting or USAR gear.
