Advanced Logger Rescue Program
 

Course DescriptionIn 1994, Advanced Logger Rescue was designed to further educate the industry in how to become the rescuers until the local fire and rescue personnel arrive on the scene, to protect both the patient and the rescuers from becoming victims themselves.  This course takes place outdoors at a working job site. Accident scenarios are set up by Dana and his staff and the members of the class try to figure out ways to assist the “injured” logger.
