The Louisville Division of Fire recently celebrated the culmination of an 80-hour course for the latest group of firefighters who became Structural Collapse Rescue Technicians
Louisville, KY – According to the statement, these technical rescue operations are more complex than the typical incidents encountered daily by fire companies and require special certifications for personnel to safely and efficiently perform specific functions.
These functions often involve using specialized tools and skill sets to handle various emergencies.
To prepare the next generation of Structural Collapse Technicians, the Louisville Division of Fire conducted three Structural Collapse Rescue classes over the past few months. These classes were facilitated by instructors from Spec Rescue International.
Fire personnel trained in this discipline will respond to building collapses and other types of infrastructure collapses caused by natural disasters, catastrophic failures, or human causality.
Their expertise will be utilized not only in Louisville but also across the Commonwealth when other departments need assistance, such as during the deadly tornado in Mayfield that struck a candle factory in 2022.
More than 60 members of the Louisville Fire Department participated in the training, along with 15 members from the Pleasure Ridge Park Fire District.
