Firefighter Training Courses

At our new MCIT Tactical Fire Training Center at Rocky Hill FD and around Connecticut, we are offering core curriculum and firefighter skills open enrollment courses!

If you’re done with choreographed burns and overstaffed drills that feel more like theater than reality, it’s time to level up. MissionCIT’s all-new Tactical Fire Training Center & traveling curriculum is built for firefighters who want to train like they fight – hard, fast, and under pressure. Explore open courses below.

Open enrollment courses are paid by credit card only in order to accommodate demand for the courses. Receipts can be provided upon request if you’d like to submit to your department for reimbursement.

Course Descriptions

Street Wrecks Extrication Class

STREET WRECKS

Stabilize. Cut. Get ’Em Out.

One-Day Hands-On Vehicle Extrication Course

Forget the perfect training-yard wreck with every tool laid out and twenty feet of working room. This class is built around the wrecks firefighters actually get sent to.

Car on its side. Car on its roof. Crushed doors. Compromised roofs. Tight working areas. Vehicles sitting where they shouldn’t be and patients who need you to make room now.

Street Wrecks is an aggressive, hands-on vehicle extrication course focused on the fundamentals that make good rescue companies effective: stabilize the vehicle, understand what the metal is doing, make smart cuts, create space, and get the job done.

Students will work through realistic vehicle positions and learn how to build solid stabilization systems without wasting time or equipment. From there, the course moves into advanced cutting, spreading, lifting, and displacement techniques designed around today’s vehicle construction and the problems firefighters routinely encounter on the street.

This isn’t a class about memorizing ten different evolutions for a test. It’s about understanding why a technique works, recognizing when it doesn’t, and being able to adapt when the wreck in front of you doesn’t look anything like the one you trained on.

THE WORK

The day will focus heavily on hands-on repetitions involving:

Vehicles on their side
Vehicles on their roof
Rapid and progressive stabilization
Cribbing, step chocks, struts and tensioned stabilization
Tool placement and creating purchase points
Advanced cutting and spreading techniques
Door and side removal
Roof removal and displacement
Dash and interior-space management
Working around reinforced vehicle construction
Creating patient-removal pathways
Tool positioning in tight or awkward working areas
Alternative techniques when the textbook move isn’t working
Coordinating the rescue team so everyone isn’t fighting for the same three feet of wreck

The goal is simple:

Quit training only for the perfect wreck. Get good at the wrecks you actually run.

Students should leave the course more confident putting a vehicle on solid footing, reading the wreck, choosing the right technique, and aggressively creating space for patient removal.

Stabilize it. Make the cut. Create the space. Get ’em out.
