For those in the private sector, the practice of “sweating the small stuff” may seem like a nuisance and unnecessary. Still, for those of us in the fire service, it’s often the “small stuff” that leads to a firefighter’s injury or, worse yet, death. In this program, Chief Lasky and Chief Salka examine the areas our fire service needs to once again place emphasis on if firefighter safety is to remain paramount.
The Three Degrees of Mayday
December 9, 2025 - 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM CST
This course will be hosted at the Danville Area Community College Bremer Center, located at 2000 E. Main St., Danville, IL 61832. Please complete the form below to register for the course.
This program discusses three categories or situations that firefighters may encounter, which could result in a Mayday operation. Not every Mayday is the same, and as a result, not every RIT operation will be the same. Rapid Intervention Teams must prepare for various urgent and hazardous situations of increasing complexity.
A single firefighter that is lost in a house fire may be handled adequately by a 4-person RIT with little other assistance A 3-person engine company crew that experiences a loss of water or sudden flashover will require a larger and more robust RIT operation, along with additional logistical support The collapse of a burning building that traps 6 firefighters in a 2-story burning pile of debris will require an even more complex response.
Join Chiefs Lasky and Salka as they discuss this new perspective on Mayday and RIT operations and learn how to prepare your firefighters to handle any Mayday situation with confidence.
