EMTG Academy Class 20 is well underway. Here is a glimpse of Tech Rescue Awareness Day. Several Redmond recruits shown here learned the basics of building an anchor for rope rescue operations. While a great deal of additional training is required to become a qualified rope rescue technician, even our newest firefighters have a role to play during complex rescue calls.

EMTG Class 20 visited the Washington State Fire Academy campus in North Bend for live fire training. This training exposes the recruits to actual class A fires in a controlled environment. Live fire days are grueling and exhausting, but nothing substitutes the experience of confronting the heat and limited visibility of a real fire.

Firefighters see things most people never will.

Seconds matter. Staffing matters.
The IAFF has led the fight for minimum staffing standards so communities get faster response times and safer rescues — and firefighters get backup when it counts.
Better staffing = better outcomes for everyone.

Firefighters face higher cancer risks just by doing the job.
Thanks to IAFF leadership, presumptive cancer laws now exist in most states — ensuring firefighters can access workers’ comp benefits without having to “prove” their cancer came from the job.
This is what solidarity looks like.
