Module 0: Summary

In Module 0, you gained an understanding of the RF-DASH program and why it was created. You explored how different levels of society influence farmers/ranchers and their communities. You learned how the RF-DASH program follows the guidelines of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. This shows that RF-DASH is committed to using nationally recognized best practices for emergency response in agricultural settings.

The RF-DASH online course is meant to equip fire and EMS personnel with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to fulfill their role as the agricultural community’s local and trusted experts in emergency prevention and preparedness. You should be proud that farmers/ranchers trust and recognize the value of fire and EMS in their community. In the field of health and safety, this level of trust is very rare. Fire and EMS can significantly impact the health and safety of farmers/ranchers.
