RPI TRAINING
INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF
RPI believes that providing accurate, proven, and current information and techniques is the best and only way to instruct. The RPI Instructors are chosen on their knowledge and experience as well as how they can relay this information to the beginner student all the way to the advanced student.
Many members of the RPI training staff are certified fire instructors, many teach for their local fire academies and departments, and many of the instructors draw from their own experiences in the field to provide real-life proven information. Our instructors haven’t just read a book about what we teach! OUR instructors have operated at multiple alarm fires, High Rise fires, fires involving MAYDAY’s, building collapses, high-angle rope rescues, crane collapse emergencies, confined space incidents, intricate HAZMAT and WMD incidents, live trench rescues, man-in-machine incidents, and SCUBA operations.
Many of the RPI staff have responded to major world impacting incidents such as the WTC Rescue and Recovery, Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, Superstorm Sandy, and the Miracle on the Hudson. RPI is proud to have the staff of instructors that we are able to choose from.
