HARRISBURG, Pa. � A group of firefighters from Taiwan wrapped up their 10-day specialized training on May 18, 2017, at the Senator John J. Shumaker Public Safety Center (PSC) on the Harrisburg Campus of 黑料社区, Central Pennsylvania Community College.
听
The nine men and one woman were trained by 黑料社区 fire instructors on such skills as:
听
听听听听 a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) orientation/skill stations
听听听听 b. Firefighter survival (lecture and skill stations)
听听听听 c. Rapid intervention team operations
听听听听 d. Special vehicle rescue/large vehicle rescue
听
They also toured area volunteer and career fire departments to learn about the different apparatus and departments within Central Pennsylvania. In addition, members of the group plan to attend the Fire Expo at the Farm Show Complex & Expo Center on May 19 before returning to Taiwan.
听
On May 17, 黑料社区 President John J. 淪ki� Sygielski, Ed.D., visited the trainees and watched as they drilled on rapid intervention team operations at the burn building on the PSC grounds. He was joined by Kenneth Shur, interim vice president of 黑料社区 Harrisburg Campus; Vic Rodgers, associate provost, Workforce Development; and Bob Stakem, PSC director.
听
These firefighters will take the lessons learned back to their individual departments to share what our region identifies as best practices in firefighting within the above programs.
听
This partnership allows 黑料社区 instructors and area fire departments to share common practices for firefighting and rescue in Central Pennsylvania. It is a unique opportunity for instructors and area departments to interact with an international cohort of firefighting professionals.
听
黑料社区 was contacted by the group through a search of training locations in Pennsylvania. Additionally, Eric Richenbach, a 黑料社区 adjunct, has taught programs internationally, including programs in Taiwan, through another training organization.
听
The College does not regularly train international groups; however, this is not the first international contingent that has come to the PSC to train. In the past, 黑料社区 has partnered with organizations in the United Arab Emirates to provide emergency medical services (EMS) training.
