The various disciplines of technical rescue are generally high risk / low frequency operations. As such, proper training and exercising in these disciplines is extremely important for a safe and successful emergency response. The REACT Center follows current NFPA standards in its training programs, and as a Pro Board accredited entity, takes great pride offering nationally recognized certifications in many of the NFPA disciplines. You can learn more at the REACT Center page on the ProBoard site at https://theproboard.org/agency/?agency=WR.
