East Coast Rescue Solutions is dedicated to offering the highest level of training to meet the specific needs of your department.
Forcible Entry
East Coast Rescue Solutions believes that forcible entry is a lost art. With less opportunity for on the job training coupled with the lack of available props today, mastering the techniques of forcible entry is a challenge for firefighters. This is why at ECRS we have developed our own mobile forcible entry simulator. This simulator allows firefighters to practice multiple forces on inward and outward swinging doors with the guidance of our experienced instructors. Let ECRS help your department develop the skills necessary to effectively handle any forcible entry situation.
• Forcible Entry Class (4 or 8 Hours)
Personal Escape Systems
An aggressive interior attack is an essential strategy for many Fire Departments throughout the U.S. Though largely successful for life saving and salvaging property, working in this environment can expose firefighters to a rapidly deteriorating environment. In worst case scenarios, firefighters are cut off from conventional means of egress, and their only option for survival is a window. In this situation, training is all one has to fall back on. That's why at ECRS we offer classes that emphasize situational awareness and having the proper equipment and training to greatly improve one's chance of survival.

Fast/RIT Training
East Coast Rescue Solutions believes "SAVING OUR OWN" is every firefighter's responsibility, which is why the importance of establishing a properly trained and equipped Rapid Intervention Team cannot be over emphasized. A MAYDAY situation that involves a missing, lost, trapped or injured firefighter requiring extrication will be a high stress scenario filled with confusion, uncertainty and high emotion. This class will offer detailed operational guidelines for any department or firefighter operating as a RIT. The class will be divided into groups that will follow the guidelines to rescue downed firefighters in a multitude of scenarios under the close and highly skilled supervision of our instructors.
