A couple of months ago Truck Co.1 received updated rope rescue hardware for our truck. This past Tuesday night Truck Co.1 put it to use at our monthly company drill. The participants were met with a low angle rescue evolution involving an unconscious subject at the bottom of a sump.
The evolution covered hands-on patient packaging, assembling hauling and safety systems and their operations, anchor points, and communications. We also went over rigging a simple tower ladder high point.
Whether it be a car down an embankment, or a children injured sleigh riding in a sump, Selden FD has faced this type of situation before.
