🚨 Training in Action | Perth Hills 🚨
A few weeks ago, Metro SES Vertical Rescue teams joined forces with St John WA Special Operations Paramedics for a day of challenging, realistic rope rescue training in the Perth Hills.
Working in tough terrain, crews were tasked with locating, accessing and conducting a complex 90-metre vertical rescue of pre-positioned casualties from the base of the waterfall.
These scenarios help ensure our responders are ready for the real thing, building strong partnerships and refining the specialist skills needed when lives are on the line.
👏 A huge effort from everyone involved and a great example of multi-agency collaboration at its best.
