RIT Escape

August 21st, 2008 by Commissioner

Wednesday night’s Company training consisted of RIT exercises.  For the third Wednesday in a row members practiced more exercises focusing on Firefighter Survival.  This week members were blindfolded as they followed a hoseline through the station while going over, under, around, and through obstacles.  The last of these was the most entertaining.

While following the hoseline, FF’s found their way into a confined space.

This confined space was to simulate a building collapse.

The only way out of the collapse is to force their way through a wall.
