Month of July Training: “Search and Rescue Training inside school building”
 

The GMFD would like to extend a sincere thanks to the Blue Ridge Christian Academy for allowing us to use one of their classroom buildings to conduct training.

Training Scenario:
A hose crew has entered the building where a fireman becomes injured and must be rescued.   A two man crew in full gear including SCBA's is then sent into the smoke engulfed building to find the injured fireman.   Due to the thick black smoke the men must crawl following the hose line until they find the victim.
   They must remain in radio contact with Incident Command and must find the victim before the building becomes engulfed in flames.   To simulate the situation of zero visibility the firemen are wearing their flash hoods on backwards so that their hoods completely obstruct their vision.  The Medical Unit has set up a rehabilitation center to administer to the firemen as then emerge from the building.
