| 8:00AM - 5:00PM | According to John Haven, Director of the UF College of Veterinary Medicine (havenj@vetmed.ufl.edu), the College will offer a week-long Technical-Rescue-for-Large-Animals course the week of August 25 to 29. ?This is not the TLAER class,? Haven says. ?This is a rope rigging and mechanical advantage class which takes the concepts learned in TLAER to the next level. It is defined as ?Rope Rescue - Operations Level,? relative to the National Fire Protection Association standard 1670, Operations and Training for Technical Rescue Incidents. ?We will provide this training in accordance with the requirements of both NFPA 1670 and 1006 standards for Professional Qualifications for Rescue Technicians, Rope Rescue, Level 1. The program is compliant with the hourly requirements of the Florida Urban Search and Rescue training format and will require all personnel to complete a 40-hour Rope Rescue Operations-level course. ?Normally taught in five 8-hour days, the course will be tailored to address special issues in equine rescue. We have a scholarship for Vet Corps members, but I need to know by Wednesday July 30th if possible if you are interested. Seating is very limited. The cost per student will be $1,100 and students must attend the entire week.? |
