Search and rescue was the subject of this week's drill at the Magnolia Springs Volunteer Fire Department. Using pallets arranged to mimic a typical house floor plan, fire fighters learned how to force entry, search and remove a trapped victim.from a residence. Firefighter Ryan Rail demonstrates how to reach out to locate an unconscious victim while maintaining contact with a wall that will help him from getting disoriented in a smoke filled house.
