1. Course Overview
As the core equipment of the modern water rescue system, the Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) has become an indispensable rescue tool for responding to complex water disasters such as rapids, shore and urban waterlogging with its excellent maneuverability, stability and shallow draft characteristics. This course aims to cultivate students into high-quality technical talents with professional IRB driving, rescue and emergency response capabilities through systematic and practical theoretical and practical training, and build a professional rescue force that can "pull, rush, and rescue" in various water disasters. With inflatable rescue boats as the core equipment, in accordance with the training system of laying the foundation in calm waters, practicing actual combat in wave waters, and attacking advanced in rapids waters, we systematically carry out full-subject training such as water theory, equipment operation, hull control, on-site rescue, emergency self-rescue, and coordinated operations. The course covers typical rescue scenarios such as static waters, nearshore waves, river rapids, and floods, unifies technical standards and action norms, comprehensively improves the risk identification, safety control, precise operation and collaborative rescue capabilities of trainees under complex hydrological conditions, ensures the realization of "scientific rescue, safe rescue, and efficient rescue", and meets the needs of joint operations and emergency response of fire rescue, national rescue forces, and social rescue forces in various water disasters and accidents.
