F irefighters take rescue course
Firemen rig a sling at the rescue course.
30 firefighters completed
the 30-hour Pennsylvania
State Rescue Course, held
recently at the Florin Fire
Station. Instructor Henry
Good of the Farmersville
Fire Dept. held classes on
various skills.
In the ropes and knots
class, the men were shown
how to use ropes to rescue
people trapped in multiple
story buildings where lad-
ders might not reach high
enough to get them out.
The Rest Home rescue
class taught the men how
to assist elderly patients
out of rest homes in case of
emergency. Different car-
ries were shown such as:
the chair carry, blanket
slides, assisting in walking,
and wheelchair exits.
The rope sliding. class
gave the men the chance to
learn how to repell cliffs
and the various ways to do
it.
The Stokes litter and the
army litter were also de-
monstrated. The men lear-
ned how to put the patients
in them and how to secure
them into these various
types of litters. The men
also learned how to use
these litters on cliffs and in
multiple story buildings.
A major topic was the
vehible rescue class. In-
struction was given on the
use of air chisels, porta-
powers, come-a-longs,
saws, and other small hand
tools. The importance of
