Rescuers from all over North Carolina came to Ashe County this weekend to get to train on rope rescue in the North Carolina Association of Rescue and EMS Rope Rescue School. The school is ran thru Wilkes Community College and is held at the Ashe County Rescue Squad building and in Mount Jefferson Natural Area Park. Students start Friday morning with a test on 16 rescue related knots then move on to lectures on rope configurations, patient care and other rope rescue topics.
They then do practical skills in anchor systems, rappelling, ascending, mechanical advantage systems and patient packaging. A huge Thank You goes to WCC and the NC State Park rangers. Ashe Rescue is proud to have 7 students taking the class and 1 instructor.

Please do not get out unless it is an emergency. Side roads and sidewalks are solid ice. At 4 degrees it is not going to get better. When going to the mail box, you could fall and lay there for hours before anyone misses you. You will die. No mail is worth that. Tell you elderly family members to stay inside. Fire Departments, Ambulances and Rescue have to put on chain, they have to drive slow, and most areas we have to walk to get close to your homes and it takes time so please stay inside. Don’t take a chance!
