Indiana River Rescue School Courses

The IRRS will be adopting a new curriculum beginning 2008.

The education committee has been re-evaluating the needs of the students and has presented to the Board of Directors these changes. the course curriculum will be in alignment with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) Swiftwater modules and NIMS. These guidelines follow NFPA 1670 and NFPA 1006. We implemented these changes to meet the needs of all, seeking these certifications in their respective jurisdictions.
