There are very few organizations out there that have as much dedication and passion than the group at the Firefighter Rescue Survey. This survey was developed a few years ago and has been tracking our "wins" for the last few years. To date there's over 1,000 plus recorded saves to show in the data. Currently, NFIRS (which technically isn't a requirement either) is used to track almost all of our losses. There's a tab in their reporting asking if there was a civilian death or a civilian injury. However, there's no question at all if there was a save. The closest that you can come in your reporting to any of this is by putting down "Search & Rescue" as a task. USFA additionally holds data on civilian fire deaths, but we are still trying to find where they exactly collect that data. Just a few months ago, the group started a Facebook Group with the intent that others from around the world could chime in on rescues they heard, saw, or performed. This group in a few short months is just shy of 5,000 members with nearly half a dozen articles shared per day. Sadly, the numbers on the Facebook Group equate to a very high success rate of Search and Rescue but those numbers just aren't be added into the physical survey. If you're not part of the group, check it out here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/631966950666217/ One of the most important things that this information does is it drives our training and tactics. By using the data we can tell where a high percentage of victims are found during different times of the day, age appropriate tactics, and more. This survey is an excellent source for any Search & Rescue material you are looking for as far as data. Make sure you check out the survey and help push documentation of saves that you know of. www.firefighterrescuesurvey.com

Wanted to take a minute to highlight this conference that's coming to the West Coast. You have Brothers In Battle, LLC, Magic City Truck Academy, and The Highwaymen Truck Company Cadre. There's a lot of great experience alone in these cadre's, but the experience in their specific topics are second to none. There will be Search, Ladders, Forcible Entry, and Ventilation topics. You get to pick which topic you want to take on any of the days. It has a round-robin type of registration. Let's highlight in the information below. Location - Bremerton Readiness Center - Bremerton, WA. (Close to the Seattle Airport). When - September 14-17, 2020. Details - Search - Cody Trestrail and the crew at Brothers In Battle will be presenting their VES: Beyond The Door class. This class is by far one of the most favorite classes that I have taken. They put an emphasis on the hands on skill acquisition. They also cover multiple techniques for multiple situations that you can run into and that are common. Ladders - OJ Kolodziej and the cadre at Magic City Truck Academy will bring their Dark Side of Ladders class. One of the most important tools that we can use is a ground ladder. There tends to be training deficiencies with ground ladders as well. OJ will show the multiple ways that we can use ladders for different situations as well as ways to get more reach. Forcible Entry - Cody Trestrail and the crew at Brothers In Battle will be presenting their Basic Irons class. For many of you that have never taken a Brothers In Battle course, this is the cream of the crop for their courses. You will work on residential and commercial door, and multiple other forcible entry problems that you could face any day. Ventilation - William Knight, Arthur Ashley, Brian Mattson, and the rest of the crew at The Highwaymen Truck Company Cadre are bringing their Coast 2 Coast class. This topic has to easily be one of the most difficult topics to perform high quality hands on training for. The crew will have the students performing multiple cuts and scenarios on a flat roof prop, pitched roof prop, un-walkable pitch, and reviewing saw maintenance. Do not miss out on this opportunity. The Ventilation class is nearly sold out! To register - https://firenuggets.regfox.com/truck-conference
