Weekly Training

This week continued on with Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) evolutions.

Members reviewed and practiced methods of moving down firefighters up stairs. Both simple techniques like two rescuer carries & drags, and more complex operations using rope systems as a mechanical advantage were practiced.

These techniques offer us another “tool in the toolbox” to rescue both downed firefighters or civilian victims. These evolutions also keep our members technical skills and abilities to think outside the box sharp, better preparing us for a variety of scenarios we could encounter during an emergency.
