Online FIREGROUND OPERATIONS

OnlineCourse: Ropes and Knots
Instructor: Jake Hogue
Enrollment: Self-enrollment not Available
It is more important to be able to tie these standard knots automatically, while under the stress of an emergency, than to know a greater number of knots and yet have failed to acquire skill in their use. The ropes used on operation companies range in size from 1/4” woven cotton tie ropes to ½”” kernmantle nylon life safety rescue ropes. They can vary in length from just a few feet to 300 foot lengths. Ropes and knots are used daily in securing equipment, fire suppression, rescue work, and emergency medical applications. Whether working with rope or knots in an emergency or training, SAFETY should be on the mind of all involved.
