It also includes safely ascending and descending a fixed-rope system in a high-angle environment and understanding and operating a rope-rescue system intended to move a load horizontally in a safe and controlled manner. “It involves using ropes and rappelling in high- and low-angle environments.”Īccording to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), the training includes understanding, directing, and operating simple rope-lowering systems. “This is a very important foundation course because everything learned in Rope Rescue is applied in other technical rescue courses,” Olivier said.
The course is the first of many for the firefighters in technical rescue training, said Assistant Fire Chief Jeremy Olivier. The firefighters completed training on towers at the installation’s Air Assault Course on the cantonment area. Ten people with the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Fire Department completed 40 hours of training in the Ropes Rescue I course for technical rescue.
