Description:
Advance Logger Rescue (8 hours) - is geared to prepare firefighters, EMS personnel, foresters, and loggers in taking action to reduce the severity of injury and increase the loggers chance of survival after a logging accident. The program teaches all participants how to handle an "in woods" rescue from the time a person has not arrived home until they are at a Level-1 Trauma Center.
