In 2017, the North Dakota Safety Council and Roco Rescue began this crazy journey of partnering a forward-thinking safety trainer in North Dakota with a rescue training company in Louisianna. Who would have thought that ten years later it would have turned into such a meaningful endeavor. With a fantastic indoor prop allowing year-round temperature-controlled training and the wonderful staff at the NDSC, Roco Rescue is proud to be the rescue training partner of the North Dakota Safety Council.

Roco Rescue is hosting an open Trench Rescue course at the Roco Training Center in Baton Rouge.

Dates: May 12-14 | September 9-11
Location: Roco Training Center (RTC), Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This course covers the fundamentals of trench and excavation rescue in line with OSHA and NFPA guidance. Students work through hazard recognition, soil considerations, protective systems, scene organization, and victim removal.

This is a hands-on, physically demanding course. Most of the class takes place in the trench working with the same tools and systems you would use on a real scene. You will spend time building shoring, moving equipment, and running rescue evolutions with the team. Expect to get dirty and put in some work.

Roco’s Director of Safety, Chris McGlynn, spoke at the ASSP Imperial Calcasieu Chapter meeting on Monday, delivering his baseball-themed presentation on complacency, The Home Field Disadvantage. The talk takes a different look at complacency and breaks down practical tactics organizations can use to recognize and counter it from several angles.

We appreciate the invitation and the conversation with the group. Thank you as well to HASC Louisiana Louisiana for hosting the meeting.

Here at Roco, we enjoy giving safety talks, presentations and helping bring awareness to the safety topics teams are dealing with in the field. If you ever need a tailgate talk, speaker for an association meeting, or you just miss us, feel free to reach out. We’re always glad to help.

We’re Hiring – Confined Space Rescue Technicians

Roco Rescue is hiring Confined Space Rescue Technicians. We are looking for firefighters, EMTs, military personnel, and other emergency responders interested in rope and confined space rescue.

Selected applicants will attend our hiring course this April at the Roco Training Center (RTC) in Baton Rouge and complete Roco Rescue’s Confined Space Rescue Technician course before beginning field assignments. If you have a background in emergency response and want to apply those skills in rope and confined space rescue, we’d like to hear from you.

Feel free to share this post!

Well apparently, shenanigans really can lead to smooth patient movement. If you can move a live patient and an egg up, over and then under a scaffold prop without touching the ground, rattling the patient or breaking the egg, then you can definitely treat a real rescue with the thoughtfulness a stressed patient deserves. Train hard and think outside the box.

We've still got a few Rescue Essentials™ courses left to choose from!

https://rocorescue.com/courses/rescue-essentials/

Rescue Essentials is a hands-on class focused on the fundamental skills every new rescuer needs. There is some classroom time to set the stage, but most of the course is spent in a harness, on the prop, building systems, using the gear, and solving problems as a team.

If you’re ready to build real capability, check out the course details and come train with us.

Shenanigan's isn't just Farva's favorite restaurant, it's also what happens in North Dakota to keep your training relevant in winter. Director of Training Chris Carlsen and Senior Chief Brad Warr are at the North Dakota Safety Council 2026 Conference in Bismarck presenting on the arena floor. Any guesses where these shenanigans are heading?
