The newly revised Farm and Machinery Rescue Class is designed to introduce the student to situations and hazards to farm and heavy equipment accidents. Identifying hazards such as fertilizers, pesticides, silos, as well as stabilization of tractor overturns and equipment disassembly are some of the subjects covered. This is a mix of classroom and field exercises that includes touring a tractor and implement dealership and learning the capabilities and resources available outside of emergency services to mitigate these incidents. The class is taught on a regional basis by Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads college level certified instructors.

Must has current Basic Extrication certification.
