This is a training course we built from scratch with materials donated by our local Home Depot distribution warehouse. This course has an add on at the end (not included) pertaining to skip breathing, regulator failures, hose coupling direction, and RIC pack connections.
We put this together to show various obstacles that can be created with minimal space. It is intended to get comfortable and confident with your SCBA and gear. Enjoy.

The key is to always stay calm slow and steady. The second you move fast and get caught or stuck you’re gonna freak out.
I just want through my department's confidence course. I can tell you I have ridden through the Rockies on a bicycle . Going through an SCBA confidence course is harder physically for me. I was getting tired just watching this.
My oldest brother is a retired Air Force firefighter. God Bless all of you brave men with brass balls, I sure as shit couldn't do it!
I know it seems fun, but for any fire fighter, who may have had to this for real, kudos to you, for your bravery 😬🧡
Dude I was freaking out about doing this in training but this video has calmed my nerves so much
I just did this blindfolded and I’m 6’2 240 and just about died
I'm 15 and just did an obstacle course very similar to this at a fire camp this summer it was lit!
It's made with carriage bolts so it comes apart and can be rearranged in different configurations and or transported. I would say everything in the video can be setup in a single truck bay. Packed away obviously less space. Good to hear from you John.
Badass course fellas! Wish I could run it. Keep up the good work.
I could barely make it through the living room while it's dark.!😂
You just had to play the song we literally ALL heard in EMS training.
the collapse sim is awesome!!! Diminishing clearance would get me breathing heavy!
I remember doing this during my fire one course at first I was terrified, but once I’ve actually gotten to do it it’s one of those things where it looks bad. but once you actually do it it’s not bad
Hahaha. Our instructors call it Chuck E. Cheese for adults
Very cool training!
Awesome vid
Currently getting started at the local VFD. I am not going to lie, I kinda dread the obstacle course. It is going to be different that what we have here („here“ being Germany) but the principles are going to be similar. The guys who are already SCBA certified have told me that yes, it is tough but it is manageable. Just go slow, and remember that you are never alone. Here, it is always going to be a team of 2 going through the course. It is impossible to do alone because there are passages like a 10 ft long narrow tube that you have to crawl through. Unless one pushes or pulls the other, it’s not going to work. The course is also meant to teach you to trust your teammates.
Looks interesting, Might do volunteer firefighting one day
With zero visibility this would be quite a challenge the first time. The obstacles seem fairly complex and more like a building collapse perhaps? I notice the use of the palms instead of the back of the hand which is unusual. In Sydney Australia we never do that due to electrical hazards.
Good basic course whith simple materials can add slightly differnt challenges to keep adding to the skill set.
