In the FESTI Auto Extrication Course, you will spend over 90% of your time developing hands-on skills. In accordance with NFPA Chapter 8, this Operations level course focuses on real-life skill development focusing on the foundational knowledge and practical skills to utilize auto extrication rescue techniques safely and effectively. You will be challenged to develop discipline, situational awareness, and professionalism. This program reviews equipment available to responders and teaches techniques and procedures for safe operations.

You will work in small groups where the student experience is our priority. We encourage you to bring a bottle for water as fountains and jugs will be available. For lunch, we have refrigerators and microwaves available and there is also a wide variety of restaurants available near FESTI as well. 

Changerooms and shower facilities are available.

For the practical portion, please dress according to the weather as we will be outside. If possible, please bring your own personal issued rescue gear if you have it including helmet, safety glasses, bunker gear and boots. If you do not have bunker gear available, we have gear that you may utilize.
