We appreciate if you allow 60 days advance notice, if this is desired, so that we can coordinate the necessary certificates.

Current Training Courses: A Safe Rescue is No Accident

Do not forget to call the media and invite them to the training site.

1) ICE RESCUE I – Technician Level Course Length – 1 day Description – MRC is proud to say that this class is the finest ice rescue class available in North America. We have trained and certified hundreds of firefighters and public safety agencies since our inception. To prepare your personnel for real life scenarios, it is pertinent that this class take place at your location. Trainees will become knowledgeable about ice hazards, the characteristics of ice as well as the associated strength guidelines. The student will understand the 3 NFPA training compliance guidelines and know the limitations of each. Incident Command System knowledge will be covered. Hypothermia care, Patient handling, Throw Bag Techniques, Self Rescue Skills and proper use of Specialized Ice Rescue Equipment are all critical components of this training, as well.

2) ICE RESCUE II Length – 1 day (Can be done on a 2nd day or in the evening 3-11 following Ice Rescue I) Description – This course is intended to further develop skills covered in the Level I class. Sub-Surface Recovery, Multiple Victim Rescue, Scene Assessment and Application Skills for Multiple Scenarios are covered in great detail. Each student is faced with potential rescue situations including “live victims” and allowed to handle the scene. These Test Scenarios are timed and critiqued as part of the skill-testing required to receive certification.

3) BASIC WATER RESCUE w/Boat Ops Length – 1 day Description – This course can be conducted on a lake or a major river, depending on your needs. After successful completion of this seminar, your personnel will be able to demonstrate basic water rescue safety knowledge. Your team will be trained to properly maneuver a rescue boat to aide in victim retrieval. The student will also obtain a working knowledge of boats, motors, and critical boating safety skills. Often taught in conjunction with Basic River Rescue for a two day class.

4) BASIC RIVER RESCUE Length – 1 day (This is often done on day 2 after completion of the Basic Water Rescue Class) Description – This class should be conducted on a river within your jurisdiction to facilitate more realistic rescue scenarios. Both shore and boat assisted rescues will be demonstrated. Throw bag accuracy will be stressed. Department members will learn how to effectively use tag lines in a variety of configurations to ensure your team is ready for a safe boat assisted rescue. He/she will be able to read a river/flood water situation and be able to utilize proper technique when called on to throw rescue rope bags in lakes, rivers and swiftwater situations. Self rescue skills will be covered thoroughly. In addition, the student will be able to demonstrate rope rigging

5) SWIFTWATER/FLOOD RESCUE – This is a three day course approximately 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. Students who successfully complete the classroom portion, practical evolutions, and final exam will receive “Technician Level” certification compliant with NFPA 1670 & NFPA 1006. Class size may range from 10 – 25 students. This course takes the student through the Awareness and Level training according to NFPA guidelines. This course covers swiftwater/flood rescue operations, throw bag techniques, shore and boat based rescue, offensive and defensive swimming, reading the river/flood for hazards, self rescue techniques, entrapment, rescue and rope rigging. The second phase of this course focuses on individual ability to fulfill the physical fitness requirements to be an effective technician for swiftwater/flood water rescue operations and includes a timed distance swim of approximately 300 meters in 12 minutes. The final phase of this course and final exam consists of potential rescue scenarios with live victims wherein the rescue team must prove to be proficient in their efforts. These test scenarios are timed and critiqued as part of the skill testing required to receive certification.

Highlight from

The video above is an actual rescue with the Seawolf Boat that we sold and trained them on taken in September 2018 in Chikaming Twp. on Lake Michigan. Port Austin made a similar save at the end of Summer 2020 on Lake Huron near Turnip Rock with the their Seawolf Boat utilizing our training skills.

If you have not yet seen the 9 and 10 news article about the Green Lake boat here is the link. http://www.9and10news.com/2018/01/29/jacks-journal-new-rescue-boat/
