🚨 LOW FREQUENCY. HIGH RISK. 🚨

“Low frequency, high risk” training prepares our crews for rare but dangerous emergencies where skill, teamwork, and preparation are critical. 🚒

Station 1A recently conducted confined space rescue training at Station 12 in a simulated oxygen-deficient environment using the SABA system with an unconscious victim scenario.

Crews also utilized a haul and lower system with the Spec Pack to safely remove the victim. 🪢

Train hard today so we’re ready for tomorrow. 💪
