Randolph Community College Emergency Services Weekend School March 5-7

Randolph Community College has scheduled its sixth annual Emergency Services Weekend School for March 5-7. Hundreds of emergency services workers from across the state have participated in the event for the past five years, according to Ken Fields, coordinator/instructor for Emergency Services at RCC. The Randolph County Fire Protection Association cosponsors the event.

Over 40 courses in firefighting, emergency care, rescue, safety and leadership skills are planned. Classes will cover topics such as ventilation, fire behavior, forcible entry, rescue boat operation, engine company operations, hazardous materials awareness, emergency vehicle driving, and agricultural rescue.

Most of the classroom training will be held at the Asheboro Campus beginning Friday evening. Additional training will be held at the Emergency Services Training Center on Old Cedar Falls Road Saturday and Sunday.

All students attending are required to pay a $25 registration fee. In-state students who are affiliated with a public safety provider are exempt from additional tuition fees.
