Kaysville Fire recently hosted a Confined Space Rescue Technician course, certifying 14 Kaysville firefighters to the technician level.
Confined space rescues involve emergencies in areas not designed for normal occupancy, such as storm drains, underground vaults, tanks, silos, and other restricted spaces. These incidents can become extremely dangerous due to hazardous atmospheres, toxic gases, limited access, and unstable conditions. Firefighters often operate on supplied air and use specialized rescue, rope, and communications equipment to safely remove trapped victims.
With the completion of this course, Kaysville Fire now has 16 firefighters trained to the Confined Space Rescue Technician level and carries specialized equipment for these incidents on our Heavy Rescue.
We would like to thank Kaysville Fire Department for another outstanding course. We also appreciate South Davis Metro Fire Service Area, Layton City Fire, and Davis and Weber Counties Canal (DWC) for providing training locations throughout the week.
