DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE HOME THE
RENO RIT COMPETITION TROPHY?
FireShowsWest has been the pinnacle of bringing the latest training and education to firefighters in the West Coast. We are constantly researching new ways to enliven our conference. After being introduced to the Florida RIT Operation’s Group’s (F.R.O.G.) mission, we knew we just had to host it.
For its second year, FireShowsWest is honored to host the RENO RIT Competition. Playing into the natural competitive nature of firefighters, the RENO RIT Competition will put your team of 5 in a RIT simulation. Each team will be timed and judged on skill.
​
Key responsibilities include:
-
Monitoring the status and location of firefighters inside the hazard zone.
-
Preparing specialized equipment, such as ropes, thermal imaging cameras, and breaching tools.
-
Deploying swiftly to rescue firefighters in trouble, often under extreme and hazardous conditions.
​
"The goal is to create an environment that is realistic and challenging for firefighters to complete. Most importantly is to LEARN SAFELY and improve the skills required in the competition and take those skills to your home organizations."
