Learning Objectives

For EMTs and Emergency Responders, every second counts. Driving to emergencies and transporting individuals safely and on time to hospitals is essential. Many lives depend upon emergency responders traveling to and from the scene: their own, others on the road, and those at the emergency scene. Tragically, vehicle collisions are the second leading cause of firefighter deaths; collisions also account for 20% of non-fatal injuries to firefighters.

This CIRMA program provides valuable training for all emergency response personnel. In it, you will learn defensive driving techniques and the regulations governing emergency vehicle operations.

Attendees will learn to identify common driving errors that contribute to collisions and accidents involving emergency vehicles. You’ll review the driving skills and techniques that help prevent collisions and violations. You’ll also be taught how to make safe and legal turns, evaluate and overcome the hazards of passing, and avoid a head-on collision. This training program teaches techniques to maintain control in adverse driving conditions.

Training and education program topics include:

• Common causes for fire apparatus collisions
• Recognizing road hazards
• NFPA 1500 Requirements for Emergency Vehicle Operations
• How to prevent backing accidents
• The danger of excessive speeds
• Personal responsibility; siren syndrome
• Common causes of accidents and road conditions
• Special considerations include a lack of training on vehicles and a lack of preventive maintenance

Audience

This training and education program is designed for:

• Emergency Responders
• Firefighters
• Risk Managers
• Executive Leadership
