Utah Task Force 1 | Rope Rescue Training

Unified Fire Authority is the Sponsoring Agency for Utah's elite Urban Search and Rescue team, Utah Task Force 1 (UT-TF1), one of 28 such federal teams across the nation, and for the State of Utah's SAR program.
Recently UT-TF1 hosted a Rope Rescue Technician course. This class is one of several pre-requisite classes to become a Heavy Rescue Technician within the UFA Heavy Rescue Program, (Special Operations). It is also required to become a Rescue Specialist on the Task Forces. The class was taught by UFA Heavy Rescue Specialists, whom are also members of UT-TF1.
The course was attended by 15 students from agencies including Unified Fire Authority, American Fork, Ogden, Provo, Lehi, Washington City, and West Jordan Fire.
One of the tremendous benefits of this program is this training benefits both Utah at the local level and the Nation when needed.
