On November 12 & 13, 2009, Fire-Rescue personnel
participated in rapid intervention training at Station 19. The
training was taught by Captain Scott Feather, Battalion Chief Marty
Stallings and personnel from Saint Andrews Fire Department. The course
consists of classroom instruction as well as intense hands on
evolutions. Personnel are taught how to free themselves from a variety
of hazards. Day 1 consists of firefighter rescue and the practical
evolutions involve firefighters entering an eight foot long box lined with
200 feet of wires. Firefighters must make their way to the opposite
end of the box, use a tool to breach a sheetrock wall, and then extricate
themselves through a 14.5" by 20" hole. Students also
learned three different techniques for extricating themselves through a
breached wall. Days 2 and 3 will involve rescuing a downed firefighter
and rapid intervention team operations along with a final scenario that
encompasses all the skills learned.
