Tulsa Fire Rescue Task Force

Rescue Task Force members standing by yesterday in case of the need for high angle rope rescue. They were on scene with first arriving TFD crews, TPD and other agencies to ensure a safe and positive outcome.

We have a few members of TFD’s Rescue crew on this deployment with OK-TF1 helping the citizens of Texas as they would their own community.

Over the last couple weeks A Platoon has been putting in some training. Crews from Stations 4 & 5 refreshed on stokes basket ops at Chandler Park and checked out the new cell tower prop at one of our other training locations.

A break in the cold weather was a good opportunity to get the ropes out for a little stokes/attendant scenario at the station. Tulsa Fire Department CMC

Rescue Task Force crews took advantage of some nice weather today and got some good reps in with ropes. Familiarization with the Arizona Vortex as an offset tripod, bipod and Appalachian Doortex configurations lowering and raising for patient pick-off. They used the Vortex for lowering in to a “confined space” and also familiarized with the Aztek 4:1 system, TTRS, new CMC Capto and a new Harken Lokhead winch for the Vortex. Excellent work by the Station 4 crew. Tulsa Fire Department CMC Harken Safety & Rescue
