Rigging Drill

The members of the fire department continued their training in using various lifting and hoisting techniques. The senior members of department used their experience to teach the various evolutions. Personnel setup pulleys systems and other forms of rigging. The goal was to become familiar with different uses of ropes and knots. Part 2 of the drill was a lecture to familiarize the members on forcible entry techniques and practices.

Thanks to all who helped out on the drill... Especially the senior members of the department for their knowledge and advice from their past experiences.
