firedoc5 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I know it's greatly changed in IL from when I first took the class and was certified. What's it required to be certified in your state? I believe some states don't even have it anymore. It falls into Firefighter II certs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I might be aware of this, under a different title. Is this someone involved in "Rescue", someone who is a medical person on a Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team, something to do with so called "Wilderness EMS", or what?

firedoc5 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Once the main thing for ERT was much more extrication training, fire rescue, scene safety, sometimes repelling, cave-in response. You had to be at least a Basic to take the course. Training could also include farm machinery extrication, heavy equipment, construction rescue. Some classes, depending on what agency you were taking it through could branch out in any or all these areas. But no matter what was included it was the same cert.
