🚨Employee Spotlight: Nate Skelton,
Instructor Coordinator

Nate retired as a Battalion Chief after 28 years of fire service in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and has been a Paramedic for 25 years. From the start, Nate believed that if he was going to do something, he was going to learn it well enough to teach it — and that dedication has guided his entire career.

With nearly 30 years of experience teaching rope rescue, confined space, cave rescue, swift water, extrication, wildland firefighting, and all levels of EMS and ICS, Nate has shared his expertise with countless students and professionals.

And Nate’s personal motto says it all:

“If you do good things with good people, you’ll have a great life.”

We’re proud to have Nate as part of the RNR Rescue team — a true leader, mentor, and example of lifelong dedication to rescue and safety. 💪

Throwback Thursday 🚨

Last September in Wilmington, CA, our Verified Refresher Training (VRT) course brought students back to the fundamentals—identifying anchors, performing lowers and raises, and practicing patient packaging. Solid skills, refreshed for real-world readiness. 💪

Students learn:
✔️ Basic principles of scaffolding

✔️ Common dangers & risks

✔️ Patient access techniques

✔️ Strengths of scaffolding components

✔️ How to reinforce & modify scaffolding safely

✔️ Strong, adaptable rigging techniques

We believe in equipping professionals with solid foundational principles, not just a step-by-step checklist—because real-world rescues demand adaptability. 💪

We will never stray from our commitment to duty, and we will NEVER FORGET.

🚨 HazMat Tech Refresher – Westlake Plaq. from Sept. 4 🚨

Not your typical “canned” class. At RNR Rescue, we build training around your team’s needs.

This refresher hit on critical skills:
✅ Level A Suit comfort & dexterity
✅ Small tool utilization
✅ Communication under pressure
✅ Passing vital intel between entry teams

HazMat response isn’t just about technical skills—it’s about mental acuity and clear communication. This custom exercise gave participants the chance to sharpen both.
