Over the weekend Brick Twp. EMS/Rescue presented our very first Rescue Taskforce Operations Course. The course was developed and presented by members of our Tactical EMS Unit.
First responders from all different disciplines attended and engaged in a mix of classroom, tabletop and hands-on training. Our course is designed to bring to practice the functions of a RTF in an active threat event with the goal of having police, fire, EMS and dispatch working seamlessly based on nationally recognized standards.
Response to the active threat requires much more than a single weekend training to prepare... It takes countless hours of interagency/interdisciplinary cooperation, communication and training to become proficient and ultimately save the most lives when it matters the most.
We hope everyone took something away from the training and we look forward to building from this first class to make it better each and every time its presented. The June class should be a good one and if things pan out another will be planned for the fall. Great job everyone!
