They have rail cars on tracks in out training area, a non-pressurized tanker they can practice entry into. The have buried some concrete sewer pipe that runs into a underground cistern. This has several sizes of pipe coming into it, 18 inch, 24 inch, 36 inch. They are built into a maze so they can be used for entry and retrieval practice. Our sewer and street departments provided us with damaged pipe that they were done with and helped us put it in. They also have some concrete slabs that they can practice digging under, they are all piled caty-whampus like a building collapse. There is also a trenh area so they can practice collaped trench rescue. The team from Station 4 trains everyone on the department on recognition and operations every year. This R&O class is required in our state for trench, confined space, rope rescue and Haz-Mat every year. It is a big job training 300 firefighters.

I am sending you our policies on confined space rescue and trench rescue. These are the operational policies for the first on scene engine of truck. The tech rescue team, Ladder4 and Engine 4 have their own rules to work from. I will see if I can get that later. This is recognition and operations policy for first arriving companies, not technition level stuff. Be safe.2.50.03.01 Confined Space Emergency (11-11-03).pdf

At 2:02pm on September 3, 2010, Gregory Borg said…: Devan, I am off work for a weeks vacation. When I get back I will see what our department has now and send it to you. In 1995 I worked on Ladder 4 and we were the first company to be trained in Tech Rescue, con/space, rope and trench. Now Station 4 (E-4 & L-4) do tech rescue. I was instrumental in starting the program. I will add that the IAFF will come and train departments free of charge but I think you have to have an IAFF local ask for the training. I will check on that also. I will get back to you.
