Hang High the Firefighter

May 16th, 2007

Moorhead Center Mall's parking lot was the scene of some unusual activity for casual shoppers. Crews trained this week on life saving techniques at high elevations using ropes and the ladder truck. The class focused on basic familiarity with our rope rigging systems and building confidence with going "over the edge" and locking off in a stationary position to work at a rescue elevation.

Crews cross check each other for proper harness application.
