This rapid intervention training teaches firefighters how to use a hasty harness to quickly rescue injured firefighters without needing a full rapid intervention team response. Instructor Paul Capo takes firefighters through step-by-step instruction on how to create a class 3 harness while leaving room to use your hands at the CSFFA Fire College 2023 in Gunnison, CO

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

So, just the plan is we take our webbing that’s in our pocket and I’m kind of like still doing that assessment and I do this for civilians too.

We just deployed this totally hands-free right?

Like I’m doing my thing. I do take that off and I just go underneath my guy.

So now what I just got here is a class 3 harness.

And now I can go like this. If I go vertical like out the window.

I go around the shoulders and I capture like that just in case he goes inverted some way it captures the shoulders, but that’s it.
