This class builds confidence on the misunderstood tactic of Vent Enter Search (VES). VES is often labeled as being unsafe or to aggressive. When in fact, it is one of the safest forms of search. It places trained firefighters in rooms where victims are often found, isolating them from fire. Students will rotate through training stations of ladders, window entry and egress, single firefighter searches, victim drags and removal; and end the class with multiple fast-paced scenarios.

This class is for any firefighter or fire officer wanting to know the details in Vent Enter Search and will give them the skill to make the GRAB.
