Confined Space / Low Angle Rope Rescue Training

[A/Ox4]

I recently attended a confined space and low angle rope rescue training scenario with my local fire dept.

Firefighter goes over the edge to make initial patient contact for a driver of a car over the edge of the road.

Firefighters lower a Stokes basket to retrieve a patient.

Firefighter lowers gas monitor into underground vault.

Firefighter reports unsafe gas level readings from a handheld gas monitor that was lowered into the underground vault the patient is trapped in.

Nice series. My department got 12 members certified in high angle last year. It was a lot of fun. At the end of the four days we all did a 100 foot free rappel off one of our towns bridges.

Very interesting with your back story.
I like the use of colour contrast - especially the first of the "Others"
The B&W are my favourites I think.

[Hate to tell you ... but I think the patient is "unresponsive"!]

Lol I just shot the same training a couple weeks ago at my job.

IMO, #1, #2, #3 would have benefited from including their feet and a bit of the ground.

Nicely captured. I think they would benefit from framing that could convey height or tight spaces. Perhaps angles or more in the picture.
