West Metro Fire
Rigging for Rescue recently traveled to Colorado’s Front Range to work with a group of firefighters from multiple agencies around the state. The course was hosted by West Metro Fire and was a great training with highly skilled participants. Included in the exercises were difficult edge transitions with a vertically oriented litter, a deflection line, work with artificial high directionals, and a two-attendant moderate slope evacuation, as seen in the gallery below. We can’t wait to return in 2013!
Update and Beyond: Highlines, Guiding Lines, Deflection Lines, Oh My
A diverse group of rope access, fire service, swiftwater and mountain rescue personnel attended last week’s Update and Beyond seminar in Ouray, including folks from Australia, Rescue Japan, North Carolina, and Colorado’s Front Range. As usual, it was a skilled and motivated crew that found time for both training and fun in the Ouray sunshine.
