Mounted search and rescue

["Chuck Daniel" <iwhound@voyager.net>]

Part of the Kokosing Group received "confined space, low angle rescue, and 
open trench rescue" training.  The training was a combination of classroom 
and hands on work.  The confined spaces training was definitely not for the 
faint of heart.  Trying to crawl through a 20 inch pipe with and air tank on 
your back in total darkness was an experience that one only wants to do one 
time in your life.  While I doubt that we as a mounted unit will probably 
never have to do this type of rescue, it was good training for other life 
experiences.  The low angles was excellent and we received very good 
experience in rigging 3:1 and 4:1 pulley systems and how to work as a team in 
the rescue process.  Open trench was also enlightening and gave one pause 
when one has the task of trying to rescue someone trapped under tons of dirt 
and trying to stay safe yourself.

We hope to have the rest of the group trained late this summer when slots 
open up with the fire department.
