Connecticut Fire Academy - Confined Space Rescue Training

CFA Confined Space Rescue Training. Recruit Class 40. Fall 2007.

New Britain recruit Pete Pyzek is lowered into a simulated shaft. This evolution was as much for the team above ground as it was for the rescuer to become familiar with the harness system.

Granted it was only training, but they weren't 'minding' his belay line very well as they pulled him out of the manhole! That could be bad stuff IF the line snapped, long fall till the belay catches him!

yeah, you're right, It did get sloppy at the very end. but you;re right, it is training where you learn from mistakes as well.

I just got home from finishing my confined space rescue training. Best course I've taken so far. High angle rescue next.

nice bro! I just took my Rescue Tech Core practical exam today, and have the tests for the vehicle & heavy machinery this week.

Have fun & stay safe!

these guys play around too much to be dealing with rescue in idlh atmospheres

Great video!! Just my personal opinion, I would definitely recommend a smaller lighter rescue type helmet. I love my 1010 but it sucks in confined space training.

I hate the fact the fucking state now sees my previous courses in confined space and trench rescue mean shit because of rescue core . . .

Ugh, so annoying . . .
