Fire Station 24-B Shift
Members of the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS)
constantly train to keep their skills sharp. Here, members of Fire Station
24 (Colesville) are working with their Tower Ladder and ropes to simulate an above/below
grade rescue with a stokes basket.
It is important for firefighters to practice all skills they
possess for any possible fire or rescue situation. In this scenario, the wrong
or improperly tied knot could mean injury or death to both the person being
rescued and the firefighter.
Constant training and practice ensures the women and men of
MCFRS will be ready and able to perform flawlessly when called into action.
