The trainees have to accomplish various scenarios individually and as a team to meet timed objectives. The training also allows attendees to try out new and top of the line equipment that could be of use in their own fire stations. The course, conducted by a DoD Fire Academy mobile training team, provides firefighters hands-on experience in rope types, knot-tying, pulley systems, rappelling, moving in confined spaces and high elevation rescue among many others. There were also firefighters from the 23rd Wing at Moody AFB, Georgia and the 612th Air Base Squadron, Soto Cano AB, Honduras. Eglin firefighters made up most of the class. This is just a morning training session of the Department of Defense’s rescue technician course.Īpproximately a dozen Air Force firefighters took on the month-long advanced training course held here. They are midway through a timed four-story vertical climb and descent on the training tower. Colorful ropes, knots and pulleys squeak, twist and grip as four firefighters horizontally hang 45 feet in the air.
