Welcome to our new website. This is under development and being updated to be complete before 30 Nov 2025! Thank you for visiting. Enjoy the updates!
We can help you quietly behind the scenes and build out your operational capacity and your strategic, tactical and operational leaders.
If you're looking to improve your fire department’s safety, performance, and leadership—but don’t want to “point fingers”—we’ve got your back.
Our proven 3-tier audit and consulting programs are designed to meet you where you are: from a light review with clear recommendations, to full-on organizational overhauls that enhance operations, culture, and accountability.
We've done it for many years. We do it well, and we can do it for you. Whether you're in Canada, the U.S., or beyond; urban, rural, or Indigenous—we work with those in authority to make fire services safer, more effective, and better places to work.
Let's help build the department & organisation you need and your community deserves.
We have many books, manuals and training programs we have created and we would like to share our podcast based on our materials.
Advanced Rescue by DIMERSAR (ARD) provides several consulting and development services and has done for well over 20 years. We can discuss your needs and objectives and visit, review and audit your department and help to implement systems to help.
