One Million Hours of Online Training Delivered by the RSLN Platform
CVVFA and ERSI Celebrate Over 1 Million Hours of Training on the RSLN Platform
The Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firefighters Association (CVVFA) and the Emergency Responder Safety Institute (ERSI) are proud to announce a major milestone in responder safety education: the Responder Safety Learning Network (RSLN) has officially surpassed 1,000,000 hours of training delivered to emergency responders across the country. Even more impressively, the platform is rapidly approaching 1,000,000 first time module completions, underscoring its widespread impact and continued relevance.
A Legacy of Learning Since 2012
Launched in 2012, the RSLN has grown into a cornerstone of traffic incident management and responder safety training. Over the past 13 years, it has evolved to meet the changing needs of the emergency services community, offering free, accessible, and high-quality online training to responders of all disciplines.
Most Popular Modules: Blocking and Advance Warning
Among the 50 modules currently available, the Blocking module remains the most popular, helping responders understand how to safely position apparatus to shield incident scenes. Close behind is the Advance Warning module, which emphasizes the importance of early notification to approaching motorists—critical for reducing secondary crashes and protecting personnel on scene.
New Additions: NFPA 1550 and Wildland Modules
The RSLN continues to expand its offerings with the recent addition of the NFPA 1550 module, which updates and replaces the previous NFPA 1500 content. This module reflects the latest standards in responder safety and health. Also new are the Wildland Modules, designed to address the unique challenges faced by responders operating in wildland and wildland-urban interface environments.
Looking Ahead
With over a million hours of training already completed and nearly 180,000 registered learners engaged, the CVVFA and ERSI remain committed to advancing responder safety through education. The RSLN’s continued growth is a testament to the dedication of emergency responders nationwide who prioritize safety, professionalism, and lifelong learning.
