My department is fortunate. Staffing, equipment and training is not an issue. As far as progression, we are really starting to get the newest and greatest stuff: MPD, OMNI pulleys, etc.

Does anybody have a annual Tech rescue training plan that their department uses and are willing to share.

We recently added the Steel Max to our extrication equipment.  It works great!  Cuts through cars like a hot knife through butter, no sparks and little if any heat.  I'm not sure how it compares with the Milwaukee saw, but it was definitely a good addition to our toolbox!  And I swear I don't get a commission... maybe I should look into that...

 My department is looking at adding a Milwaukee metal cutting circular saw to our rescue. Do any of you guys already have on? If so, what do you like or dislike about it?28734_6370-21.jpg

I'm not an expert on technical rescue but i've found a video of Paris, firefighter trying to prevent a jumper to jump from the Eiffel tower. It's on my blog here's the link:http://www.formationincendieleblog.com/2010/01/sauvetage-en-hauteur...

On trench panels, does anyone else run the upright flush at the bottom and leave 4' at the top? If so, have you found any problems in doing so?

Thanks,
