ARS is proud to announce that the Heavy Vehicle Hands On Training course has been selected again for the 2012 FDIC. Looking forward to seeing you there next spring!!

In addition to the recently announce Ag Rescue HOT class, ARS is proud to post two more open enrollment opportunities!

We will be hosting an Advanced Rope Rescue Tech class in Indianapolis on Aug 8-12. This course will build on the fundamental skills acquired in the IDHS rope rescue technician class and will allow the students to spend the extra time learning, and more importantly, understanding complex systems and rope rescue techniques. This class has very little ‘classroom’ time as all the learning is spent hands on. Please check out the flyer for more info.

After that we will be hosting a Tower Rescue Tech class, also in Indianapolis from Aug 30 to Sept 2. This four day class will meet all of the requirements for OSHA and ANSI in tower and antenna climbing, access and rescue work. Students will get the opportunity to climb a variety of towers and participate in multiple rescue scenarios. While this is a rescue course, it also meets the needs of OSHA competent climber and is a fantastic refresher course for previously trained technicians. Here is the flyer for this class.

As always, ARS will provide any of our course catalog at your location but if you are looking for a specific course, just let us know. If we have enough inquiries, we will host an open class just like these.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an open enrollment course this fall: Agriculture Rescue Hands on Training. This class will provide some real hands on work on a large working farm in central Indiana. Some of the scenarios will be grain bin wall cutting, rollover lift and stabilization, anhydrous leak control, PTO and auger cuts and walk-arounds on some of the latest tractors and combines available. Students will get a fantastic home cooked lunch and a free Tee shirt as well. The cost is only $100 per student!! Save the date: September 17th. Take a look at the flyer and then go ahead and get registered here.

It’s taken a while to update but that’s due to a very busy spring unfolding for ARS. If you follow our FaceBook page you’ll know that FDIC was a fantastic time for all of us and the 160 students that attended the Heavy Vehicle Extrication H.O.T. class. FDIC is always a great experience but this year was far busier than any in the past. We met a bunch of great rescuers from across the USA and Canada and we learned right along with everyone else. You can’t help but learn something new at FDIC, a fantastic resource for all of us.

Along with the busy class time, we also had the great opportunity to film several segments for the Fire Engineering Training Minute series. The Heavy Truck series will begin in July and should appear through December, highlighting several of the components of our Semi Extrication course. Check www.fireengineering.com for more.

We wrapped up another great week with Sugar Creek Twp. last week as they finished their Trench Technician class. See the photo below from their Ops class and a link to a newspaper article that highlights that fantastic team.

We have many classes coming up and will try to post open spots in those as often as possible. We are hosting the open enrollment Rope Tech class here in Indy in June and we will follow that with an Advanced Rope Course and possibly a Tower Rescue Course this summer or fall. Also, we are developing an Ag Rescue Weekend course for late summer - watch for more info on this soon!
