Develop agent application techniques

With PAST 2.0, learn how to effectively use all your agent application appliances

Your ARFF toolbox includes HRETs, high flow bumper turrets, hydrochem or Halon nozzles, and FLIR cameras to name a few. Depending on the situation, ARFF operators must readily determine the most effective tools and agents to use and apply them successfully in a short span of time. Understanding how each agent application appliance affects the overall outcome of the event makes a huge difference.

PAST 2.0’s hands-on training approach develops intuitive skills for site evaluation, tactical approach and set up, multiple vehicle deployment, as well as application devices and techniques. It allows ARFF operators to practice operational flexibility and to train in the actual vehicles they will be responding with. It helps your department go beyond minimum standards and progress to the next level of performance expected during an emergency event.

Being prepared is not an option. It’s a requirement.
