Prattville Fire Department Rapid Intervention Team Training
Mid-November, 2010
PFD training had a multi-company Rapid Intervention Team drill during
the middle of November. Fire personnel simulated a downed firefighter in
a collapsed building. Firefighters where given various scenarios where
they were forced to overcome obstacles in order to rescue the injured
firefighter. Those obstacles included: entering through by 3rd story
ladder; a confined space rescue; a rope rescue; forcible entry through
doors & walls; a toxic atmosphere; and dealing with an air pack
malfunction.
