Course Description:
This course equips emergency response personnel with the essential knowledge and hands-on skills to effectively assess and manage incidents involving hunters, climbers, or outdoor enthusiasts trapped or injured in trees. Designed to address the unique challenges of tree-related emergencies, the training emphasizes a practical, field-ready approach for small response teams (2–3 personnel).Participants will learn to conduct thorough size-ups of tree incidents, perform safe access into trees, carry out patient assessment and packaging, and execute victim removal techniques using minimally equipped kits. The course emphasizes non-traditional methods for reaching elevated positions, with a strong focus on safety, resourcefulness, and team coordination in remote or rugged environments. By the end of the course, responders will be equipped with a versatile skill set applicable to most arbor-related emergencies within their jurisdiction.
