Advanced Trench Rescue Training
It was a very educational day for me watching our crews participate in trench rescue training under Chief Patrick Moore at our week long class in Idaho. Have you heard of compartment syndrome? It’s a potential danger during trench collapse and occurs when blood is compressed inside the body, preventing circulation and causing toxins to build up. When someone is extricated, having Advanced Life Support on scene is essential for providing the necessary treatment. Removing the victim from the space can be fatal if not done properly. Who would have thought?? The weather was perfect, the crews were engaged, and each person definitely went home with something new learned. We love working with this customer because they understand the importance of safety and training. When everyone keeps safety as a priority, we can ensure everyone goes home at the end of the day. #capstonefireandsafety #ruralmetrofire #trenchrescuetraining #safetyfirst #alwayslearning
