Trapped FF

[bittenyakka]

In the thread Rescuing the rescuers there was much discussion about the lack of training and equipment for rescuing trapped FF from specifically buildings that are still a fire environment.

Now i want people to post methods and ways of training crews to rescue FF who are specifically Trapped so more is required than going to the sounding DSU?

any ideas at all and making use of basic tools that all brigades should have.

Both the SES basic rescue manual & the New AEM GENERAL RESCUE manual have rescue methods that use very little equipment to effect rescues. Like using crow bars as levers to lift an object. Sadly the basic rescue manual is not available electronically - its being replaced. However here is a link to the AEMhttp://www.ema.gov.au/agd/ema/emainternet.nsf/AllDocs/2E6DD4ACF65D443CCA257156007ACEA0?OpenDocument
Also the NZ Civil Defence has very similar training to ours & their gear is electronic
Hope this helps cheers
