  • 1. Belay line!?...it's a lower not a repel, safety lines only. 2. Bear claw? I think you mean anchor plate. 3. This is a high angle rescue. 180 degrees straight vertical is as high of an angle as you can get. 4. It’s a Gibbs ascender not descender and it’s a safety precaution incase the safety or main gets out of control. Completely necessary for a rappel rack? Whatever the rescuers are comfortable with I say. In rescue speed is not a priority, if the patient is stable. Good Job Providence!

  • Well lets see. First off where is the Belay line for the basket tender and the basket itself??? No rescue operation will operate without a belay system (NFPA 1006). two, It is much easier and effective to attach your decent line to the stokes basket with a bear claw. and then attach the basket tender to the bear claw as well. Keeps the system simple! three, this is NOT high angle, it is merely a basket lower. 4, why on earth do you have a gibbs descender attached to the break rack????

  • awsome stuff! I'm jealous!! I handle hieghts for money, you guys have a calling! Kudos!

  • Sorry, i can not understand you. i acually can't because my ropes are all 10.5mm, so not certified for rescue hauling. But if you provide me the equipment, we see us in the rigg.

    anyway, the guy in the harness is flawless and has experience, but the trainees on the desceners are hopefully doing a few more rounds of pracise.

  • You are a fucking idiot, you wouldnt even have the balls to do shit like that you fucking degenerate

  • what are they doing? first neary unable to lift the victim up with 5 men, the 2 men unable to operate the descenders....

  • What was wrong with the victim? An odd plce to need medical assistance.

  • Foremost, I have all the respect in the world for firemen, but please, for your own safety and that of those you rescue, get properly trained in "ROPE ACCESS" techniques. This rescue can be accomplished with two men, in less time than it took to get that fella over the edge. Google "IRATA training".

    God speed.

  • Yes it was real. First high-angle rope rescue in the department's history, from what I understand.

  • I believe this was real world, not an exercise. It was a few months back.
