utilizing specialized equipment and teamwork. Students learn essential skills such as situational

awareness, communication, and safe rigging techniques to ensure effective and efficient

rescues while maintaining safety protocols. The class aims to enhance responders' readiness

and confidence in high-pressure situations.
