Tonight, over 20 members traveled to the LCFA Pequea Lane Training Facility to drill on Rapid Intervention situations. Rescue 57 runs quite a few RIT responses each year, and members have trained extensively on firefighter rescue. QFD firefighters first trained on using a hoseline to lift a firefighter. The crew then used our man through the floor bag and lifted guys up through the hole in the floor. We also practiced using an attic ladder and our DRD device in our coats. Finally, crews drilled on using a roof ladder to remove a FF from a first floor window. While we were at Pequea Lane, another four members were taking MOD 3 in essentials at LCPSTC. Thanks to all of the members who trained tonight on this most important topic. NGLB - Nobody Gets Left Behind. Thanks to Bart Township and Rawlinsville for standing by and handling a trash fire for us while we were out.
