SBS3625D SG I only know fire-fighting got cert. So I guess live-saving course should have. Me already got fire-fighting and helicopter fire-fighting.
SBS3625D SG Cert nia. Actually the knowledge was what I was after anyway. I would recommend the fire-fighting course. Quite useful.
dumbdumb! SG helicopter fire-fighting? where you learn from? i only got fire fighting, hazmat and medic training..
SBS3625D SG Heli fire-fighting was courtesy of Singapore Aviation Authority. Let's just say this one was far worse than what Civil Defence threw at me.
SBS3625D SG Yes. Navy NSF. I was sent for helo fire-fighting because I'm from a frigate which is due to receive helicopters. Basically as a seaman, besides knowing FFDC (fire-fighting damage control), now I have to learn to fight helo-fire in the event of a crash-landing. Helo-fire is a class B fire which means water is practically useless in fighting it. For that reason, we have foam gun in the hangar, and the heli-deck and hangar door is fitted with AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) which is far superior in combatting such fire. The course basically gave us procedures how to approach a downed helo, what to do in the event of a crash to prevent a fire. And best (or worst) of all, we had to don fearnought suit (aluminised suit) to combat aviation fuel fire which was easily the worst fire I had been thrown, and rescue casualties (if any) from the helo.

Short Ninja SG Hey this course used to be siong in SAFTI but also 2 weeks of fun.I remember one funny question 'if your wife and mother in law are both drowning at sea who would you save?' 'I would save both' was my answer and it was the correct answer but looking back at my first marriage my answer should have been 'I would let both drown'>
