Rescue 3 International was founded in 1979 after a California search and rescue team nearly lost one of its own during a water rescue. Nearly 30 years later their mission remains the same: to provide flood, water, and rope rescue training to individuals and organizations with an emphasis on ways to keep rescuers from becoming victims. As a result, Rescue 3 has risen to become the recognized leader in water and flood rescue, training over 150,000 students throughout the US and 32 foreign countries. Known for their dynamic curriculum and utilizing state of the art techniques. Rescue 3 is constantly developing new and innovative rescue techniques, improving on old techniques, and working with manufacturers to develop equipment to meet rescuers needs.
One thing that sets them apart is their dedication to providing students with practical, real world experience. To this end, all of Rescue 3's instructors are professionals working in the disciplines they teach. Their instructors include paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and search and rescue team members, as well as river guides and military personnel.

Global Standards
Their courses have been independently audited and found to be compliant with the NFPA 1670 standard for technical rescue in high risk environments including swiftwater, ice and rope rescue. This is important because training to a recognized standard is a key factor in reducing your organization’s risk profile.
Unparalleled Documentation
Court cases have shown time and time again that training isn’t worth much if you can’t prove you did it, so they provide extensive documentation of each student’s training. First, each student is assigned a certification number so that they can access their training record at any time in the future, for employment or legal reasons. Then, each person receives a skill sheet or training record that lists the specific skills and knowledge taught, the relevant NFPA standard, and whether the student performed or observed each skill. This becomes an invaluable training record that should be kept in a personnel file. Then, each skill sheet is entered into a database maintained by Rescue 3 International. The training record can be accessed at any time with just a phone call or e-mail by simply quoting the individual certification number or person’s name. It is this high-level of record-keeping that is need to demonstrate “due diligence” by employers and is one of the many ways their approach is unmatched by other training companies.
