Last evening our Tech Rescue personnel joined up with the Chester Fire Depts Tech Rescue team for some high angle rope rescue drills at a site on Route 35 in Chester.

All rope personnel practiced setting up rope systems, repelling, edge transfer, and being lowered using a twin-tension system.
These skills are utilized to lower personnel, access patients and raise patients and rescuers in a high angle environments.

These types of rescues are high risk low frequency events. It’s imperative that rescuers are very proficient in these skills to ensure our safety and that of those we are rescuing.

Thank you Chester Fire for this opportunity to train with your team and learn from each other. When these types of incidents arise we will no question be counting on each other for a successful rescue and outcome.

Some of our crew attended an Emergency Vehicle Driver Operator Course the last two days in Weathersfield. They attended the training with several other area firefighters. This course was instructed by the VT Fire Academy and hosted by the Weathersfield Fire Dept.

Have you ever thought about getting into public safety, but firefighting, EMS and police work in the field not your thing? Here is an excellent opportunity to work with some amazing people and save lives doing it without stepping on the scene. It’s an extremely important job because without it we couldn’t do our job.
