Huge congratulations to this group. Six days of hard work, and we’re proud to report they all successfully passed their Rope Technician practical assessment.

We had the opportunity to train with responders from across Connecticut and New York the past two weeks and the depth of experience and professionalism they brought to the course made for an outstanding learning environment.

Cheers. More 📸 to follow.

A full week of student-led arborist rescue scenarios with the Wilton CT Fire Department alongside members from New Canaan, Westport and Norwalk Fire Departments.

The students operated in command roles, making go/no-go decisions, building IAPs and coordinating rescues from start to finish. Critical thinking, communication and leadership under pressure all week long. Awesome group to work with

CMC is issuing a Product Safety & Inspection for the CAPTO™.

Through our internal inspection processes, CMC has found certain instances where the thread locker that secures the CAPTO cam set screw may not have fully cured. This potentially affects CAPTO 11 MM Gray (Part # 336011) and CAPTO 13 MM Red (Part # 336013) models from serial number 23191-001 through 26085-034. If the set screw becomes fully unthreaded, the cam spring may fall out, causing the cam to not function as intended. There have been no reports of any set screws coming loose in the field, but out of an abundance of caution we request that customers inspect for the presence and position of the set screw to ensure that it is installed properly. We have corrected this issue for current and future CAPTO production.

The same thread locker is also used as a secondary method to secure the pulley fl**ge. While we do not expect any issues, CMC still advises that customers also inspect the pulley fl**ge while inspecting the set screw position.

If you have a CAPTO, please immediately inspect your device using the inspection steps included in the Inspection & Safety Notice.

Day 2 and 3 with the Wilton CT Fire Department. Lots of hard work, lots of time on rope, and a group that continues to lean into the uncomfortable parts of learning new skills.
