International
Fire & Rescue Association
Helping Firefighters and Emergency Services worldwide since 2002
This was the first such mission for the International Fire and Rescue Association to Ecuador and therefore served not only as a training mission, but provided an opportunity to meet the key members of the Cuerpo de Bomberos, develop a working relationship, assess the current situation on the ground and ultimately to make recommendations on how best to work together in future.
The plan was to deliver three distinct courses; RTC Procedures (including Electric Vehicles), Incident Command and Rope Rescue. The team were also invited to take part as students on a Wildfire Awareness course run by the academy.
The team consisted off : -
Dave Wishart - Scottish Fire & Rescue Service (rtd)
Gillon Staley – Scottish Fire & Rescue Service
Our 57th container was sent to Pasaje in Ecuador with vital life saving equipment.
