SUMMARY:Large Animal Technical Rescue - Safety and Success Through Prevention\, Preparedness\, and Partnerships (MOO-0004)
DESCRIPTION:Animal emergencies are human emergencies due to the “human to animal bond” and the emotional connection that exists which drives untrained individuals into life-threatening situations to save an animal.  If an animal is in distress\, typically a 9-1-1 call will be made.  If emergency services personnel do not respond…well-intentioned\, untrained\, animal-loving Good Samaritans will self-deploy through contact from the animal owner or a social media post and attempt the rescue operations themselves\, more often resulting in the need for human rescue\, human injury\, or death of the animal and/or Good Samaritans thus becoming the responsibility of emergency services personnel. \nHow can emergency responders\, veterinary professionals\, animal owners\, and other local resources work together during a rescue operation?   What are some safety concerns and risk assessment considerations related to large animals?   What equipment and resources will you need?   How should the rescue operation proceed?   What techniques will you use?   How will you handle the animal once rescued?   Will the animal need medical attention?   What is the safest\, quickest\, easiest way to perform the rescue operation successfully? \nOBJECTIVES COVERED IN THE TRAINING COURSE INCLUDE: \nNFPA 2500\, 150\, 1983\, and other NFPA Standards\, Incident Management\, Large Animal Behavior/Handling\, Basic Webbing Manipulations\, Safety Issues\, Simple Vertical Lift Techniques\, Mud/Water/Trench/Ice Rescue Considerations\, Barn/Facility Fire Prevention\, Fire Incident Response\, Trailer Safety\, Transport Trailer Incident Response\, Natural Disaster Preparedness and Response\, On-Hand and Specialized Equipment\, Resource Allocation\, Medical Management and Field Euthanasia Considerations \nRegistration and additional information on NC TERMS (https://terms.ncem.gov/TRS/courseDesc.do?sourcePage=courseSearch&cofId=160674) \nHosted by: City of Raleigh Fire Department \nLocation: Wake County Law Enforcement Training Center\, 1300 Law Enforcement Drive\, Raleigh\, NC 27610 \nInstructors: 4Hooves Large Animal Services\, LLC (Justin and Tori McLeod) \nDates/Times: Nov 8-10\, 8am-5/6pm daily \n24 hours of CE approved by NCVMB for veterinarians and veterinary technicians

SUMMARY:Large Animal Technical Rescue: Safety and Success Through Prevention\, Preparedness\, and Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Location: Taylor Farm\, 202 Country Club Drive\, Trenton\, NC (Jones County – near New Bern) \nDates/time: October 18-20\, 2024\, 8am-5/6pm \nHosted by Eastern Equine Associates Mobile Veterinary Services \nFor course registration and information contact: Stephanie Hill at easternequineassociates@gmail.com or 252-571-2297 \nRegistration is on NC TERMS (https://terms.ncem.gov/TRS/) \nInstructors: Justin and Tori McLeod\, 4Hooves Large Animal Services\, LLC\, www.4HoovesSMART.com \n24hrs CE Credits for Licensed Veterinary Professionals approved by NCVMB \nAnimal emergencies are known for becoming human emergencies\, especially if emergency responders or veterinary professionals are unable to respond or unable to affect a rescue due to lack of proper equipment or training. Once an emotional owner\, “Good Samaritan”\, or “social media responder” with little to no training attempt a rescue\, they often unintentionally become a victim requiring assistance from emergency services and further compromising the animal even further by delaying its rescue. Either way\, the animal will need to be rescued… the question that remains is “Are you or the agency\, organization\, business\, or department prepared to handle the rescue operation safely\, efficiently\, and successfully?” This course will provide an educational and interactive approach to basic on-hand and specialized equipment\, simple to complex techniques\, and safety considerations to prepare the individual rescuer for the unexpected\, therefore increasing the chances of a successful outcome and decreasing the risk of iatrogenic injury or death of the animal victim\, rescuers\, or bystanders. \nTopics Covered: \nTopics will include but not limited to… Animal Behavior (large animal and companion animal)\, Safety Considerations\, Handling and Restraint (large animal and companion animal)\, Containment\, Entrapments\, Motor Vehicle Accidents and Overturned Trailers\, Barn and Wildfires\, Unstable Ground (mud\, trench\, ice\, etc.) Incidents\, Water Rescues\, Natural Disaster Preparation and Response\, Hazardous Materials Decontamination\, etc. Course content will consist of audiovisual lectures\, demonstrations\, and hands-on practical exercises. Currently\, this is not a recognized certification course per NFPA or AVMA standards\, however portions of this course coincide with aspects of the NFPA standards 1670\, 150\, 1006\, 1952\, and 1983. *NFPA 1670 (Animal Technical Rescue for Awareness\, Operations\, and Technician Levels) – NFPA 150 (Fire and Life Safety in Animal Housing Facilities) – NFPA 1006 (Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualifications) – NFPA 1952 (Surface Water Operations and Protective Clothing and Equipment) – NFPA 1983 (Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services)* and FEMA Resource Typing for Animal Rescue Technicians and Teams.

SUMMARY:Large Animal Technical Rescue: Safety and Success Through Prevention\, Preparedness\, and Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Location: Hanover Fire and EMS Training Center\, 13038 Winston Road\, Ashland\, VA (Hanover County) \nDates/time: March 22-24\, 2024\, 8am-5/6pm \nFor course registration and information contact: Brooks Lusk at belusk@hanovercounty.gov\, 804-641-1196 \nRegistration is available on TERMS (https://terms.ncem.gov/TRS/) \nInstructors: Justin and Tori McLeod\, 4Hooves Large Animal Services\, LLC\, www.4HoovesSMART.com \nAnimal emergencies are known for becoming human emergencies\, especially if emergency responders or veterinary professionals are unable to respond or unable to affect a rescue due to lack of proper equipment or training. Once an emotional owner\, “Good Samaritan”\, or “social media responder” with little to no training attempt a rescue\, they often unintentionally become a victim requiring assistance from emergency services and further compromising the animal even further by delaying its rescue. Either way\, the animal will need to be rescued… the question that remains is “Are you or the agency\, organization\, business\, or department prepared to handle the rescue operation safely\, efficiently\, and successfully?” This course will provide an educational and interactive approach to basic on-hand and specialized equipment\, simple to complex techniques\, and safety considerations to prepare the individual rescuer for the unexpected\, therefore increasing the chances of a successful outcome and decreasing the risk of iatrogenic injury or death of the animal victim\, rescuers\, or bystanders. \nTopics Covered: \nTopics will include but not limited to… Animal Behavior (large animal and companion animal)\, Safety Considerations\, Handling and Restraint (large animal and companion animal)\, Containment\, Entrapments\, Motor Vehicle Accidents and Overturned Trailers\, Barn and Wildfires\, Unstable Ground (mud\, trench\, ice\, etc.) Incidents\, Water Rescues\, Natural Disaster Preparation and Response\, Hazardous Materials Decontamination\, etc. Course content will consist of audiovisual lectures\, demonstrations\, and hands-on practical exercises. Currently\, this is not a recognized certification course per NFPA or AVMA standards\, however portions of this course coincide with aspects of the NFPA standards 1670\, 150\, 1006\, 1952\, and 1983. *NFPA 1670 (Animal Technical Rescue for Awareness\, Operations\, and Technician Levels) – NFPA 150 (Fire and Life Safety in Animal Housing Facilities) – NFPA 1006 (Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualifications) – NFPA 1952 (Surface Water Operations and Protective Clothing and Equipment) – NFPA 1983 (Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services)* and FEMA Resource Typing for Animal Rescue Technicians and Teams.
