Today, I welcome Fire Captain Robert Sepulveda Jr. to discuss the world of REMS. Robert is a Captain for Pasadena Fire and joined the FIRESCOPE Technical Search and Rescue Specialist Group in 2020 and is Chair of the Rapid Extraction Module Support Subcommittee.

Robert is certified as a Regional Task Force Leader, Technical Search Specialist, Search Manager, Rescue Manager, Assistant Safety Officer, Swift Water Rescue Technician, and Tool and Equipment Specialist. He helped develop the new NWCG qualification requirements for REMS Teams and is the Coordinator for the Urban Search and Rescue Regional Task Force 4.

We discuss everything REMS-related, the development of the PMS 552 form, concerns folks have, including the new NWCG requirements, as well as where REMS is going in the future.
