Anderson Technical Rescue Team

Today the weather held off long enough for the technical rescue team to conduct its monthly training exercise, focusing on patient packaging utilizing Stokes baskets, SKED, and Yates Spec Pak. Subsequently, team members practiced operating twin tensioned rope systems and employing the Arizona Vortex as an artificial high directional to execute multiple raise-lower evolutions. The training concluded with simulated rescue scenarios that integrated all acquired skills, including litter attendants being lowered to victims, loading them into Stokes baskets, and raising them back up!
