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 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.
