The Fire training or Emergency
Response Team training as it is now known is a full on 7 day
training program to teach us how to respond to any emergency
situations which may arise, in particular fire, confined space
rescue, and emergencies requiring breathing apparatus (BA).
It is essential that we become proficient in these skills
as fire is the number one threat to life in an Antarctic /
Sub Antarctic base. As the emergency response team we are
solely responsible to resolve any situation which may arise
which could threaten life or property on station. Unlike on
the mainland we cannot simply ring 000 and wait for backup,
it's entirely up to us.
