The Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) Operations course is an essential training program designed to prepare firefighters to effectively respond to mayday incidents and execute the rescue of downed or trapped firefighters. Through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on evolutions, participants will develop a strong foundation in RIT principles, proactive deployment strategies, and critical rescue techniques.

This course emphasizes the importance of situational awareness, team coordination, and decisive action during high-risk, low-frequency events. Firefighters will learn to recognize warning signs of potential firefighter emergencies, implement preventative measures, and execute rapid, efficient interventions when seconds count.
