Each unit will have their own prop to train with next week. Below are pictures of the assembly.

Grant Light and the crew on Rescue 9 in Cincinnati was at it again. They built a roller prop that entraps a hand.

Grant Light and his crew from Cincinnati Fire Heavy Rescue 9 put a little work into making this old scrap steel into a great indoor training prop.

I dropped in to see Battalion Chief Doug Wehmeyer at the main Deerfield Twp firehouse a few days ago. After some command training and dinner, he finally let me see the rescue truck.

I dropped in on Station 16 in Columbus this afternoon. Below are some pictures of Rescue 16. It is the busiest or one of the busiest rescues in the country, year in - year out.

What's your plan for getting to a victim on the top of a car in flood waters? Swift water operations?

Some torch operations on rope from the Cincinnati Heavy Rescue 9 crew.

A couple pictures of Portland's rescue tiller.

It's a elevator rescue in a blind shaft with heavy rigging (griphoist), metal cutting on rope (plasma cutter and saw), and a pick-off.

For those that have a grip hoist you know the box it comes in is very tight. We had a new box made to prevent the jack-in-the-box effect. The box can easily be used to move other equipment as well.
