HistoryABBET-RIT was formed by fire fighters from Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler Counties. They got together to discuss standardization of one Accountability System, Rapid Intervention Teams, and Communications. From the first meeting in Harmony Borough, Butler County it was recognized that this is going to be an on going feat and decided that we needed an organization that could span not only City, Borough, and Township lines but also County, and State lines. So far ABBET-RIT has communicated with over 100 fire organizations, has trained over 100 firefighters in Rapid Intervention Crew Exercises, Standardized a way to overcome communications between counties, standardized identification of personal qualifications and have shared our accountability system with more than 4500 firefighters in Western Pennsylvania. We have received feedback on this web site from all across the country and Canada. ABBET-RIT's goals are to continue to help educate fire organizations on the need for a standard accountability system, research and develop firefighter safety equipment and training, provide feedback to RICE instructors, and continue to break down the city, borough, township, county, and state lines that separate fire organizations.
