 | This past weekend, Munhall VFC #5 hosted a Basic Rigging for Rope Rescue class. Instructors Mike Dortenzo and John Medred went over such items as ropes, hardware, rigging and lowering systems, safety, and knots. Members learned some expanded capabilities of the new tower, as well. We'd like to thank members of Munhall VFC #4 and Whitaker VFC for attending, and also Mike, John, and Bowie for some great instruction. We hope everyone learned some valuable information and had fun, too. In this picture, Lt. Dan Rojtas from Munhall VFC #4 attends to a "patient" being taken of the roof of a building in a rescue simulation. Visit our facebook page for more photos. Photo by Ken Dixon |
