In our second episode of the Solid Responder podcast, we join Canadian first responder, David Bain, ACP of Canada Task Force 2 and city of Red Deer emergency services chief training officer, to discuss his background and the international community and it’s impact around the world.

Our friend and colleague of almost 20 years shares insights on Canada’s urban search and rescue system (USAR), which was started in the early 2000s by the Canadian government. Hear about how they have since evolved into a first class international USAR team, covering all disciplines to address all-hazards incidents. 

Learn about David’s experiences as a leader in training and education of first responders and the Canadian USAR team’s participation in multiple training initiatives, which were a vital factor in helping to take the team to where it is today—and continue to grow and achieve even more in the future.
