NFPA Training

Animal Fire Rescue offers NFPA Training for the following topics in Awareness, Operational and Technician Levels.

  • Rope Rescue (RR)
  • Animal Technical Rescue (ATR)
  • Water Rescue (WR)

The benefit of NFPA Training is that different topics can be combined to make training more streamlined. AFR has created an NFPA Training program that combines RR & ATR into a 4 level program and a Water Rescue Training that combines 3 topics.
