Using a basic qualitative approach, I asked 16 firefighters to review the definitions of “flow,” “creative suspension,” and “gentle action,” then asked them to relate the first stories that came to mind about being in a flow state while active in fire and rescue situations. Note: This is a physically demanding course and includes rope ascension.This is the report of a study of the flow experiences of firefighters and their ability to make decisions, effecting gentle action, by employing creative suspension. Certification is valid for two years and can be renewed by completing our Recertification program. Roco’s certification testing includes individual skills proficiency, scenario-based performance evaluation and written exam. Response capabilities are enhanced by extensive hands-on learning stations and realistic problem-solving exercises, including on-air, simulated IDLH scenarios. This accelerated program quickly advances students to more complex confined space and technical rope rescue operations. This certification testing to a national consensus standard, such as NFPA, is an excellent means of documenting individual skills proficiency in accordance with OSHA 1910.146. The course begins with core skills and concludes with testing to the job performance requirements listed in NFPA 10 for both Confined Space and Rope Rescue Technician Level. This 110-hour program is designed to produce a more well-rounded rescuer who is capable of safely and effectively responding to a wide variety of confined space and rope rescue incidents.
