Hi Verne!
All week the ACFR technical rescue team members are taking part in third quarter technical rope rescue training at North Metro Fire Training Center as part of the North Area Technical Rescue Team. Every year, our tech rescue team takes part in at least four North Area Technical Rescue Team rescue trainings. This quarter is rope rescue, concentrating on tower climbing and rescue. The other trainings are confined space, trench, and structural collapse training.
Earlier this week, the C shift tech rescue team members practiced climbing an antenna over 80 feet, while becoming more efficient with fall protection equipment. Once they were at the top, each member had to perform a task of tying three knots. This demonstrates their performance comfortability, while working at heights. They then had to change locations on the tower at height and repel to the ground.
The other part of the training was conducting a rescue scenario. The team was tasked with raising a patient about 40 feet off the ground using a two rope system and then transitioning to a lower system.
The goal of the training was for the C-shift team members to train together as a crew and with NATRT, to solve difficult technical rescue scenarios and challenges, while working on their skills, communication, and efficiency as a rescue team.
Wow!
Yikes very impressive 👍
Congratulations Kacey on your award! We love working with such talented and amazing people!
Amazing Job Kasey...!!
All of our tech rescue members will be training this week at North Metro Fire Department’s Training Center. However, over the weekend, one of our members used those skills to help raise money to fight cancer. Lt. Joe Anderson II, head of ACFR’s tech rescue team, volunteered for the Over the Edge event this weekend in downtown Denver, which benefited the Cancer League of Colorado. Lt. Anderson II put his rope access skills to use by helping people rappel 448 feet off of a downtown skyscraper, a total of 38 stories in all. He was joined by firefighters from South Metro Fire, Thornton Fire, Greeley Fire, and Alpine Rescue.
All of the money raised goes directly to cancer research. As of today, over $243,000 has been raised from the yearly all volunteer event. We should note, Tiffany, one of the women Lt. Anderson II assisted over the weekend, has been cancer free from a brain tumor for an entire year. Rappelling down a skyscraper was on her bucket list. Well done Tiffany…
And......... that’s a nope!😬😬😬
Always have been proud of you Joe!
Whole lotta mopes there!
Yeah Joe!
