Fire Ground Survival

Hosted by Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue

The objective of this training is to equip firefighters with the necessary skills and tactics to effectively manage and move firefighters through walls, entanglements, up and down stairs, and out of structures in high pressure situations.

Firefighter Nic Pluskota is a firefighter with Spokane County Fire District 9. He is one of the lead instructors for the FLAMES program hosted by Chatsworth Fire Department in Chatsworth Georgia. This course summarizes some of the skills and abilities learned in the FLAMES program. Firefighter Pluskota travels to Georgia twice each year to give back to the program.

“I believe that when it comes to these skills, they might be some of the hardest things you will ever do on a fire ground, physically and mentally.” says Pluskota.

This program puts firefighters in the mindset of stress and exhaustion and shows that the body can perform and when its the real deal the body is ready.
