Yesterday was potentially a once in a lifetime experience.
Over the last few weeks our Command Staff met with Haywood County SAR and Haywood Community College and planned a Technical Rescue Training located in the Gorge on Interstate 40.
Friday night students focused their skills on Basic Knots and setting up mechanical advantages including twin tension systems.
Yesterday students met at roughly the 1 mile marker and conducted two scenarios until lunch time. After lunch for our large scenario, Swiftwater Techs from Junaluska Fire and Haywood SAR had to cross the river to setup a high line and on the Interstate side, members from Haywood SAR, Crabtree-Ironduff Fire Departmenr, and Yadkin Rescue Squad setup anchor points and high directional lines to lower then raise a rescuer to the riverbank.
Our training began at 8 this morning and ended shortly after 4:30 this afternoon.
A very special thank you to Shawn Haynes, Jeff Hinshaw and Yadkin County Rescue Squad, and Eric Wiseman for attending and helping with the scenarios yesterday! Along with Haywood SAR for helping make this training a great opportunity today!
Also.. any pictures that were taken from inside the truck, the truck was stopped when the picture was taken.
