Port Renfrew Volunteer Fire Department hosted the FT P*P class from Victoria for a day of rescue from a beach and vehicle extrication. This was the fifth time they have hosted an AMAZING experience for our students!! We look forward to returning with our students again and again!

The Whistler P*P students have been taking advantage of the weather, getting outside, and honing their trauma skills while collaborating with some amazing community partners. Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) Whistler Fire Fighters IAFF Local #3944 hosted the team for a training exercise in technical extrication and the use of their mechanical CPR device, AND Blackcomb Helicopters opened their hangar to the students for a training session in helicopter safety and air medical transport. Huge thank you to the professionals at Whistler Fire Rescue Service and Blackcomb Helicopters for the opportunity to train together!

The Langley FT P*P cohort is hard at work! P*P skills are practiced everyday, to maximize results, and create muscle memory.
