Emergency brigade course with DC-3 certificate
Course to train your company’s multi-purpose brigade: fire prevention and firefighting, evacuation, first aid, and search and rescue. Choose the training ground, with live-fire practice in El Salto, Jalisco, or no ground, at your facilities. DC-3 certificate for each participant.
Who is it for?
- Members of the internal unit and the brigades of the Internal Civil Protection Program.
- Workplaces that need to set up or renew their brigade.

Your brigade knows how to prevent, act and coordinate during a fire, an evacuation or an injury, and that preparation is documented for the Internal Program.

Practice with live fire, a smoke house, hydrants and extinguishers at our ground in El Salto, Jalisco. Brigade members feel the heat, the smoke and the real weight of the equipment.
