Personal skills are a must for every rescuer. Our Personal Rope Rescue Skills and Techniques workshop will take you to the next level with your confidence and abilities. There are no free rides on rope, and these rescuers showcased their learning in these pickoff scenarios.

We had a great Personal Rope Rescue Skills and Techniques Workshop with Chester County Rescue Task Force this past weekend. The students focused on personal mobility on rope which promotes confidence and problem-solving skills. Towards the end of the day, the students worked on cross hauls, also known as 2-rope offsets, as a method to rescue a victims in unique situations.

Huge thank you to BELFOR Property Restoration for hosting the class and First Due Energy for providing drinks for the students!
