Down firefighter drag

In this class we cover the "what if" a fellow firemen goes down during an emergency situation in a hazardous atmosphere. The objective for this drill was to have a smaller frame firefighter in the situation of dragging his search buddy (a heavier firefighter fully bunkered unconscious), the techniques used were; a one to one using tools found on a fire engine or the firefighter pockets (webbing, pear carabineer, scba belt), the second technique was a mechanical advantage skill (one firemen) using webbing or search rope, carabineer to pull the down firefighter to safety, and the third was an assisted drag in a confined or narrow space. The practice skills were to "make it easier" for the firemen to get that fellow firefighter out in a timely and safe manner. In conclusion all three skills worked for each and one of the crew members and now we got a new tool, just in case. "A" shift personnel involved: Capt. Roig, Firefighter Lydia Rivera, firefighter Gadiel Rodriguez, and firefighter Hector Rivera
